Going without : Alcohols can be oxidized with oxygen and without transition‐metal complexes (see scheme; TEMPO=2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxide). Conventional methods are compared with new catalytic variants developed for this reaction and for the complete oxidation of pollutants with regard to sustainability.
