Abstract

Polymeric N-halamines have been previously employed for organic reactions such as sulfide oxidation. In the present study, we employed polymeric N-halamines to oxidize primary alcohols selectively to the corresponding aldehydes in excellent yields. After reaction, the polymers can be recycled and then reused for the next reaction process.

  • 13 The procedure for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol is as follows: A mixture of H2O (5 mL) and CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added to the chlorinated polymeric beads (2 g). (The unchlorinated beads were obtained from HaloSource, Inc. The unchlorinated beads were chlorinated by soaking the beads in bleach solution, with pH adjusted to 7 by addition of AcOH, for an hour. Then, the chlorinated beads were filtered and dried in air.) After addition of TEMPO (10 mg, 0.064 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (0.2 g, 1.8 mmol), NaHCO3 (0.5 g) was added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h and filtered. The residue on the filter paper was washed with H2O (20 mL) and CH2Cl2 (10 mL), and the organic phase of the filtrate was separated, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The solvent was removed under vacuum to obtain benzaldehyde.
