title: 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO) and 1-Me-AZADO: highly efficient organocatalysts for oxidation of alcohols.
abstract: Development of a stable nitroxyl radical class of catalysts, 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO) and 1-Me-AZADO, for highly efficient oxidation of alcohols is described. AZADO and 1-Me-AZADO exhibit superior catalytic proficiency to TEMPO, converting various sterically hindered alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields.
