The selective oxidation of alcohols by use of an oxoaminium salt was investigated. The reaction proceeded clearly under mild condition with a satisfactory yield of carbonyl compounds uncomplicated by the presence of side products. The synthesis of oxoaminium salt IV was given. The oxidation of l-hexanol, 2-hexanol, and 3-hexanol by use of IVa (oxidant) in CH/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ at room temperature was included. The oxidation rates of primary and secondary alcohols with IVa were studied. Primary alcohols were oxidized faster than secondary alcohols with IVa. 7 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
