RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A Selective, Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Method for the Oxidative Cleavage of Glycols A1 García Bartolomé, Nuria A1 Rubio Presa, Rubén A1 García García, Patricia A1 Fernández Rodríguez, Manuel A. A1 Pedrosa Sáez, María de los Remedios A1 Arnáiz García, Francisco Javier A1 Sanz Díez, Roberto K1 Química orgánica K1 Chemistry, Organic AB A catalytic methodology for the oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols is described as an advantageous alternative in terms of the environmental impact on classical methods involving toxic oxidants. The novel strategy is based on the use of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes as catalysts and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an oxidant and displays high selectivity and a broad scope for glycol cleavage. In addition, the developed system is also useful for the oxidation of acyloins to diketones.
