Abstract
Abstract Catalytic amounts of cheap, non-toxic, easy-to-handle and non-sensitive sodium tert-butoxide are able to promote the dehydrogenative oxidation of a wide array of secondary alcohols using inexpensive benzophenone as the H-acceptor. The corresponding ketones, highly important intermediates and targets throughout life and material sciences, are very selectively obtained under mild conditions.
