Abstract
3-Hydroxy-N-methylacridinium iodide (Ac+OH) oxidized alcohols with the aid of potassium t-butoxide, whereas N-methylacridinium iodide (Ac+) could not oxidize alcohols under the same reaction conditions. The results indicate that the 3-hydroxyl group is crucial in modifying an N-methylacridinium nucleus as an NAD+ model oxidizing agent.
