Abstract : A ligand and additive-free [CuNi(bz)3(bpy)2]ClO4 catalyst system that efficiently and selectively catalyzed the oxidation of a range of primary and secondary benzylic alcs., 1-heteroaryl alcs., cinnamyl alc. and aliphatic alcs. mediated by hydrogen peroxide to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, resp.
