The invention relates to a preparation method for
aldehyde or alkone, in particular to a method for preparing
aldehyde or alkone by
oxygen catalysis and
alcohol oxidation under the mild condition. Themethod comprises the following steps: according to the 5 mmol of reaction substrate, 1-8 percent of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-
oxygen radical (TEMPO) or a derivative thereof, 4-20 percent of
halogen-containing compound and 4-20 percent of
nitric acid or
nitrate are taken as the catalysts, 0.1-0.8 MPa
oxygen or air is taken as the oxidant, then the reaction is carried out for 1-36 h at the temperature of 0-80 DEG C, a series of alcohols can be oxidized into
aldehyde or alkone with
high selectivity, a catalyst TEMPO and the derivative thereof can be circularly and alternately used, the turn-over number (
TON) is up to 800 and the cost is greatly reduced. The invention has the advantages of
safer reagent with lower price, wider applicability of the substrate, mild
reaction conditions, convenient product separation, no
pollution to the environment, easy industrialization, and the like.
