Novel Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones under Atmospheric Oxygen

Abstract
[reaction: see text] Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones has been studied in high yields using atmospheric oxygen and a catalytic amount of V2O5 in toluene under heating (ca. 100 degrees C). Secondary alcohols can be chemoselectively converted into ketones in the presence of primary hydroxy groups.
