Abstract
8-Azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-ol (ABOOL) and 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-7-ol (ABHOL) feature small bicyclic backbones and are known to be stable. These hydroxylamines can efficiently catalyze the oxidation of various secondary alcohols to their corresponding ketones using molecular oxygen in ambient air as the terminal oxidant and copper cocatalysts at room temperature.
