Selective Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Primary and Secondary Alcohols Mediated by Decahydroquinolinyl-N-oxyl Radical

~)-cis,cis-4-Benwyloxy-2,2,8a-trimethyldecahydroquinolinyl-N-oxyl reveals a reversible redox peak whose oxidation potential is at + 0.67 V vs. AgIAgCI.The compound catalyzed the selective oxidation reactions of primary and sefondry alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, in high currerlt efficiency (86.4-92.7 %)and selectivity (100 %).
