The complexes were effective in the catalytic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols in presence of N-methyl-morpholine-Noxide as oxidant. The oxidation reactions were carried out in dichloromethane. A mechanistic study of the above reactions has been proposed. Copyright 2010 JohnWiley & Sons, Ltd.Article
