A number of new, heterogeneously catalyzed processes to selectively oxidize alcohols into carbonyl or carboxyl compounds have been introduced in the past decade. This study summarizes selected methods suitable for scale-up and convenient adoption by fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries to replace conventional oxidative routes based on homogeneous catalysis or on stoichiometric oxidation with inorganic and organic oxidants.
