The direct oxidation of unprotected amino alcohols to their corresponding amino carbonyl compounds has often posed serious challenges in organic synthesis and has constrained chemists to adopting an indirect route, such as a protection/deprotection strategy, to attain their goal. Described herein is a highly chemoselective aerobic oxidation of unprotected amino alcohols to their amino carbonyl compounds in which 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO)/copper catalysis is used. The catalytic system developed leads to the alcohol-selective oxidation of various unprotected amino alcohols, carrying a primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group, in good to high yield at ambient temperature with exposure to air, thus offering flexibility in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. Strong as an ox: The highly chemoselective aerobic oxidation of unprotected amino alcohols to their corresponding amino carbonyl compounds has been achieved by using 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO)/copper catalysis. This catalytic system oxidizes not only alcohols with tertiary amino groups but also those with secondary and primary amines in good to high yield at ambient temperature in air. bpy=2,2-bipyridyl, DMAP=4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine.
