Various salicylaldehyde derivatives were prepared from the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields by ecologically benign aerobic oxidation using ruthenium salen nitrosyl complex 1 as catalyst under visible light-irradiation.

Key words

aerobic oxidation - oxygen - ruthenium salen complex - salicylaldehyde

The desired aldehyde was obtained in 35% together with 5 in 3%, under usual conditions. In order to minimize the formation of the coupling products, slow addition of 4 to the reaction medium was examined, but the yield of the desired aldehyde was insufficient and irreproducible (27-67%), see:

To suppress the undesired coupling, protection of phenolic OH group was needed (ref. [13b] ).
