A metal‐free catalytic system consisting of 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine N ‐oxyl (TEMPO) and tert ‐butyl nitrite has been developed to activate molecular oxygen for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. A variety of active and non‐active alcohols were oxidized to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in high selectivity and yields.
