The present invention relates to the field of organic synthesis and more precisely to a process for the synthesis of an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone by oxidation of the corresponding alcohol. Said oxidation is characterized in that it is performed by means of a hypochlorite salt and a catalytic amount of a N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl-N-oxyl)-2-amino-1,3,5-triazine derivative, preferably a N-oxyl derivative of the polymers known under the trademark Chimassorb® 944 or 2020. |
