A novel and practical cuprous bromide-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols with 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as the additive under air atmosphere has been developed. Various primary and secondary benzylic alcohols and allylic alcohols were smoothly transformed into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones with high yields and selectivity. The process is 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO) free and solvent-free.

Key words: aerobic oxidation, copper catalysts, benzylic alcohols, solvent-free, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinooxy-free
