29. The formation of some acids was observed for most primary alcohols listed in Table 1 and Table 2 if a prolonged reaction time was employed.
30. Although 1,2-dichloroethane is not a green solvent, it is more convenient in laboratory work and was employed in the current research. As for the concept of green chemistry, AcOH can be used as the solvent in this aerobic oxidation to achieve a complete conversion with slightly adjustment of the reaction conditions.
