The oxidation of secondary alcohols with ketones was carried out by catalysis with hydrous zirconium(IV) oxide. In the batch reaction system, the oxidation proceeded efficiently to give the corresponding ketones, except for some secondary alcohols. On the other hand, all of the secondary alcohols were efficiently converted to the corresponding ketones in the flow oxidation system. The influence of the hydrogen acceptor on the oxidation rate was investigated by the use of several ketones, and the oxidation rate was influenced by the electron density and steric hindrance around the carbonyl group. The dependence on the reaction temperature was also investigated in the flow reaction system.
