Abstract

Novel palladium(II)‐N‐(2‐pyridyl)‐N′‐(5‐R‐salicylidene) hydrazine triphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized and characterized by UV, IR, ^1^H NMR and ^31^P NMR spectral analysis, C, H, N analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes were effective in the catalytic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols in presence of N‐methyl‐morpholine‐N‐oxide as oxidant. The oxidation reactions were carried out in dichloromethane. A mechanistic study of the above reactions has been proposed. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
