title: Chemoselective, iron(II)-catalyzed oxidation of a variety of secondary alcohols over primary alcohols utilizing H2O2 as the oxidant.
abstract: A mild, iron-based catalyst system is presented that selectively oxidizes secondary alcohols to the corresponding hydroxy ketones in the presence of primary alcohols within 15 minutes at room temperature, utilizing H2O2 as the oxidant.
