Oxidation of Organic Compounds Using Water as the Oxidant with H<sub>2</sub> Liberation Catalyzed by Molecular Metal Complexes
Sayan Kar, David Milstein
Abstract
liberation. The oxidation of alcohols, aldehydes, amines, alkenes, and enol ethers will be discussed to provide an outlook toward other functional groups' oxidation. We hope that this will aid researchers in devising other oxidative dehydrogenative catalytic systems using water, complementing traditional oxidative processes involving strong oxidants and molecular oxygen.
