For the conversion of raw materials into fine chemicals and high-value building blocks, reliable oxidation methods have been found to be indispensable tools in modern organic synthesis. 1–6 Various methods with remarkable efficiencies have been developed for a wide array of oxidative transformations which are now well established. However, since most of these standard protocols rely on the use of hazardous terminal oxidants or cause the generation of significant amounts of waste products, there is still an evident need for methodological improvements with respect to environmental and economic issues. Especially in terms of waste product minimization and the use of renewable materials, catalytic aerobic transformations offer some ideal features of a ‘green’process7 towards sustainability. In particular, the oxidation of alcohols is one of the most important synthetic operations in both the organic chemistry laboratory and the chemical industry. Although classic oxidation reactions can be very efficient and selective, they often involve the use of stoichiometric reagents and halogenated solvents, resulting in the generation of large quantities of wastes. 8 The urgent need for more sustainable chemical processes has
