title: Dehydrogenative oxidation of alcohols in aqueous media using water-soluble and reusable Cp*Ir catalysts bearing a functional bipyridine ligand.
abstract: A new catalytic system for the dehydrogenative oxidation of alcohols using a water-soluble Cp*Ir complex bearing a bipyridine-based functional ligand as catalyst has been developed. With this catalytic system, a variety of primary and secondary alcohols have been efficiently converted to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, in aqueous media without using any oxidant. Reuse of the catalyst by a very simple procedure has been also accomplished.
