The oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids is a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. In this paper, we report a new chemoselective process for the oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes. This metal-free reaction features a new oxidant, an easy to handle procedure, high isolated yields, and good to excellent functional group tolerance even in the presence of vulnerable secondary alcohols and tert-butanesulfinamides.

Quinoline derivatives are important natural products and pharmaceuticals, but their synthesis can be challenging due to poor yields, harsh reaction conditions, and instability of starting materials. Here we report the chemoenzymatic synthesis of quinaldic acids under mild conditions using an aldolase, trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase (NahE, or HBPA). A series of 2-aminobenzaldehydes derived from reduction of the corresponding nitro analogue were reacted with pyruvate in the presence of NahE to give substituted quinolines in up to 93% isolated yield. This reaction differs from the aldol condensation catalyzed by NahE in vivo, instead resembling the heterocycle formation catalyzed by its homologue, dihydrodipicolinate synthase.
