The Bobbitt salt is an oxoammonium compound, a derivative of 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. It contains a tetrafluoroborate anion and is named after its discoverer, the American chemist James M. Bobbitt (* 1930).

It is a cheaper analogue of the N -oxoammonium salt, which is derived from TEMPO . The Bobbitt Salt 1 is mainly used as a recyclable stoichiometric oxidant:

Oxidation reaction with the Bobbitt salt

Thus, primary alcohols to aldehydes (R 1 or R 2 = H) is oxidized from secondary arise thereby alcohols ketones (R 1 , R 2 = alkyl, aryl). At the same time, 1 is reduced.
