• Using both of these substrates it was demonstrated that cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase from lignifying Forsythia tissue specifically removes the pro-R-hydrogen atom of coniferyl alcohol in the oxidation to the aldehyde. (uni-muenchen.de)
  • Here, we disclose a new copper(i)-Schiff base complex series for selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes under benign conditions. (bvsalud.org)
  • While the selectivity and nature of oxidation products implicate a high-valent iron-oxido complex as a key intermediate, the low alcohol/ketone ratios suggest a simultaneous radical-based process. (bvsalud.org)
