Chiral azabicyclo-N-oxyls mediated enantioselective electrooxidation of sec-alcohols

Enantiomerically pure azabicyclo-N-oxyls were prepared from l-hydroxyproline. They mediated enantioselective electrooxidation of racemic sec-alcohols to afford optically active sec-alcohols with moderate to high s value (up to 21).
