Homogeneous, anaerobic (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Pd or -Ni catalyzed oxidation of secondary alcohols at mild temperatures.
The use of aryl chlorides as oxidants for the selective oxidation of a variety of secondary alcohols in anaerobic conditions with (NHC)-Pd and -Ni systems (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) at very mild temperatures is presented.
