Сatalyst for the oxidation
2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyloxy, commonly referred to as TEMPO, stands as a stable nitroxyl radical utilized as a catalyst in oxidation reactions. Its red crystalline solid form exhibits remarkable stability, rendering it shelf-stable and well-suited for various applications. TEMPO is used mainly for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. TEMPO has impressive solubility in both organic solvents and aqueous environments. This attribute enhances its usability in various oxidation contexts. Depending on conditions can be used different oxidant: in aqueous settings, it partners with hypochlorite for oxidations, while in organic environments, it collaborates with Cu/O2.
