DEAD-(cat)ZnBr 2 an efficient system for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) in presence of catalytic amounts of ZnBr 2 is an efficient reagent for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl derivatives via dehydrogenation. The combination of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and a catalytic amount of ZnBr 2 is an efficient system for the dehydrogena...

Summary:Diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) in presence of catalytic amounts of ZnBr 2 is an efficient reagent for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl derivatives via dehydrogenation. The combination of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and a catalytic amount of ZnBr 2 is an efficient system for the dehydrogenation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The scope and limitations of this process have been studied.
