The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

Oxidations of alcohols and amines are common reactions in the synthesis of organic
molecules in the laboratory and industry. Aerobic oxidation methods have long been sought …

Homogeneous Cu/TEMPO catalyst systems (TEMPO= 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-
oxyl) have emerged as some of the most versatile and practical catalysts for aerobic alcohol …

Selective oxidation reactions are challenging when carried out on an industrial scale. Many
traditional methods are undesirable from an environmental or safety point of view. There is a …

The organic nitroxyl radical, TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), finds a variety
of industrial applications for chemical transformations. Because of economic and …

The first copper-catalyzed direct β-functionalization of saturated ketones is reported. This
protocol enables diverse ketones to couple with a wide range of nitrogen, oxygen and …

A modular Cu/ABNO catalyst system has been identified that enables efficient aerobic
oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines to amides. All four permutations of …

Dehydrogenation of (partially) saturated heterocycles provides an important route to
heteroaromatic compounds. A heterogeneous cobalt oxide catalyst, previously employed for …

The direct oxidation of unprotected amino alcohols to their corresponding amino carbonyl
compounds has often posed serious challenges in organic synthesis and has constrained …

A novel family of iridium catalysts stabilised by P, N‐ligands have been introduced. The
ligands are based on imidazo [1, 5‐b] pyridazin‐7‐amines and can be synthesised with a …
