“…The mediators which are proposed for LMS -such as ABTS, HBT, VA, N-hydroxyphtalimide (NHPI), 2,29,6,69-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) (Galli and Gentili 2004;Morozova et al 2007;González Arzola et al 2009) -are also candidates for EMS, although EMS and LMS gave different results with the same mediator (Rochefort et al 2002a). According to Fabbrini et al (2002), the LMS oxidation of 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol with HBT and NHPI afforded only the corresponding a-ketone in 30% and 50% yields, respectively.…”
