## Abstract A method for the selective oxidation of the primary hydroxyl functions of polysaccharides is described. The oxidation is mediated by 2,2,6,6βtetramethylβ1βpiperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and hypobromite is used as the regenerating oxidant. At pH 10.5β11 a selectivity of 98% for cold water solubl

## Abstract ILT is designed and demonstrated to be an effective recyclable catalyst in the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols.
Treatment of primary-secondary sugar dials with ethyl acetate in the presence of Woelm neutral alumina produced selectively the corresponding primary monoacetates in good yield. No di-acetate was formed in a detectable amount.
With catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and hypochlorite/bromide as the regenerating oxidant in water, primary alcohol groups in glucans and derivatives thereof were rapidly and completely oxidised. For pyranosides, selectivity was higher than 95% and no side products
