Iodine(<sc>iii</sc>) catalyzed metal free method for oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes in water.
Abstract Oxidative coupling of primary amines to imines has been achieved by using a water soluble cobalt complex as catalyst and air the oxidant at near ambient conditions. Aromatic, heteroaromatic aliphatic were successfully converted corresponding with yields up 96 %.
