Transition metal-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation is an attractive method for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds, but most catalytic systems feature precious metals and require pure oxygen. The vanadium complex (HQ) 2VV(O)(OiPr) (2 mol %, HQ = 8-quinolinate) and NEt3 (10 mol %) catalyze the oxidation of benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcoholswith air. The catalyst can be easily prepared under air using commercially available reagents and is effective for awide range of primary and secondary alcohols.
