β¦ Synopsis
An alcohol oxidation process using an air-stable iron tricarbonyl compound structurally similar to Shvo's diruthenium bridging hydride was developed. Secondary benzylic and allylic alcohols are oxidized in high yields, and evidence for an Oppenauer-type mechanism is presented.

## Abstract A (hydroxycyclopentadienyl)iron dicarbonyl hydride catalyzes the Oppenauerβtype oxidation of alcohols with acetone as the hydrogen acceptor. Many functional groups are tolerant to the oxidation conditions. The same complex also catalyzes the dehydrogenation of diols to lactones. A mecha
The first water-soluble transition-metal catalysts for Oppenauer-type oxidation of secondary alcohols have been developed. The catalytic system composed of [Ir(COD)Cl] 2 , 2,2%-biquinoline-4,4%-dicarboxylic acid dipotassium salt (BQC) and sodium carbonate is highly efficient for the selective oxidat
