The solution is subsequently used for oxidation of alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of the nitroxyl radical “TEMPO”, which inhibits oxidation at the aldehyde stage. Selective oxidations of eight different alcohols were demonstrated. To achieve identical yields, the aromatic alcohols containing electron withdrawing groups needed a longer residence time than aliphatic alcohols.1 aSharma, Y.1 aMoolya, S.1 aJoshi, Ramesh, A.1 aKulkarni, Amol, A.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/continuous-flow-telescopic-oxidation-alcohols-generation-chlorine-and-hypochlorite
