A novel combination of FeCl<sub>3</sub>, <sc>l</sc>-valine and TEMPO is found to oxidize alcohols to the carbonyl compounds with dioxygen. A wide range of primary/secondary benzyl, allylic, and heterocyclic alcohols have been efficiently converted into aldehydes and ketones with good to excellent isolated yields.
