Abstract:
A method for the aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids in water by using an inorganic‐ligand‐supported copper catalyst was developed. This method was performed with the use of atmospheric oxygen as the sole oxidant under extremely mild aqueous conditions, and furthermore, a wide range of aldehydes with various functional groups were tolerated. The copper catalyst could be recycled and used in successive reactions at least six times without any appreciable degradation in performance. This method is operationally simple and avoids the use of high‐costing, toxic, air/moisture‐sensitive, and commercially unavailable organic ligands. The generality of this method gives it potential to be used on the industrial scale.
