NaBrO3/bmim[HSO4]: a versatile system for the selective oxidation of 1,2-diols, α-hydroxyketones, and alcohols

Abstract: Sodium bromate with bmim[HSO4] has been found to be an excellent oxidizing agent in aqueous medium. NaBrO3:bmim[HSO4] oxidized 1,2-diols, α-hydroxyketones, and alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields. This method offers advantages such as low cost reagents, aqueous reaction conditions, moderate temperatures and short reaction times and hence environmentally benign reaction. Moreover, the ionic liquid bmim[HSO4] could be recycled for at least three times without loss of significant activity. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
