title: Oppenauer oxidation of secondary alcohols with 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone as hydride acceptor.
abstract: 1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone (2a) reacts as a hydride-acceptor in the Oppenauer oxidation of secondary alcohols (1) in the presence of diethylethoxyaluminum. The oxidant allows for selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.
