Selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes with H5IO6/V2O5 in ionic liquid

Abstract

An efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes with<br />H5IO6/V2O5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][PF6] has been developed. High yields of the products, mild<br />reaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary to<br />the existing methods. The catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of the<br />catalytic activity.
