The oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds is of fundamental importance in organic synthesis, due to the wide use of these products as precursors and intermediates for many drugs, vitamins and fragrances. However, traditional oxidants are often toxic and release considerable amounts of by-products. As an alternative, oxygen is among the cheaper and less polluting stoichiometric oxidants, and the implementation of a transition metal-based catalyst in combination with oxygen represents an emerging alternative to the traditional procedures.This book aims to give an overview of the aerobic oxidation of alcohols catalyzed by transition metals, and covers the most important advances in the last fifteen years. Following an introductory chapter on homogeneous-, heterogeneous- and nano-catalysis, use of copper, ruthenium, palladium, gold, vanadium and iron are discussed in turn. The book concludes with a useful overview that includes representative experimental procedures.This book will provide a valuable reference to organic chemists and green chemists in academia and industry.

Dr Francesca Cardona was born in Florence, Italy. After her Ph. D. in Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. A. Brandi (1998) she was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in the group of Prof. P. Vogel (1999-2000). From 2002 she is a researcher at the University of Florence. In 2006 she received the G. Ciamician silver medal of the Italian Chemical Society, as the best organic chemist of the year under 35 years old. She has more than 50 publications and 5 chapters in scientific books. Research interests: stereoselective syntheses of iminosugars, new green oxidation methods, parallel kinetic resolutions by cycloaddition reactions. Dr Camilla Parmeggiani was born in Fiesole, Italy. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. A. Goti, University of Florence. She investigated the synthesis of polyhydroxylated iminosugars with Prof. A. Goti at the University of Florence, organometallic addition to nitrones to obtain pyridine-based iminosugars with Prof. P. Merino during her degree work at the University of Zaragoza and allenes addition to nitrones with Prof. H.-U. Rei?ig at Freie Universität in Berlin during her Ph.D. course. She is currently doing a post-doctoral fellowship at CNR-INO working on liquid crystal elastomers syntheses with Prof. D. Wiersma.
