Abstract
The use of tert-butyl nitrite as a simple organic redox cocatalyst instead of copper or silver salts enabled an aldehyde-selective aerobic Wacker-Tsuji oxidation. Various aldehydes could beg isolated as major products in up to 30/1 regioselectivity as well as good to high yields at room temperature.
