Oxidações eletrocatalíticas de álcoois e dióis em meio bifásico utilizando metanossulfonato de CeIV como mediador

Some alcohols and diols were oxidized electrocatalytically in a biphasic system using ceriumIV methanesulphonate as mediator. A mixture of methanesulphonic acid solution and benzene was used and aldehydes, ketones and diacids were some of the principal products obtained with yield varying from 27 to 98%. In several cases selectivity was obtained.
