Oppenauer Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols with 1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone as Hydride Acceptor

2007

1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone (2a) reacts as a hydride-acceptor in the Oppenauer oxidation of secondary alcohols (1) in the presence of diethylethoxyaluminum. The oxidant allows for selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.

Solvent free oxidation of primary alcohols and diols using thymine iron(III) catalyst.

2010

In this study, we developed an efficient and selective iron-based catalyst system for the synthesis of ketones from secondary alcohols and carboxylic acids from primary alcohol. In situ generated iron catalyst of thymine-1-acetate (THA) and FeCl(3) under solvent-free condition exhibits high activity. As an example, 1-octanol and 2-octanol were oxidized to 1-octanoic acid and 2-octanone with 89% and 98% yields respectively.

Benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde oxidation on MnOx clusters: Unraveling atomistic features

2021

Abstract The catalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol with O 2 is a promising option for the production of benzaldehyde, from both environmental and economical viewpoints. In particular, highly dispersed MnO x systems feature good activity and selectivity in a wide range of temperatures, although deactivation phenomena by over-oxidation and/or poisoning of active sites are generally recorded. On this account, a density functional theory study was performed on cluster-sized catalyst models, namely Mn 4 O 8 and over-oxygenated Mn 4 O 9 fragments, to predict the reactivity pattern of MnO x catalysts in the selective aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Several pathways concur to determine the who…

Oxygen-assisted hydroxymatairesinol dehydrogenation: a selective secondary-alcohol oxidation over a gold catalyst.

2013

Selective dehydrogenation of the biomass-derived lignan hydroxymatairesinol (HMR) to oxomatairesinol (oxoMAT) was studied over an Au/Al(2)O(3) catalyst. The reaction was carried out in a semi-batch glass reactor at 343 K under two different gas atmospheres, namely produced through synthetic air or nitrogen. The studied reaction is, in fact, an example of secondary-alcohol oxidation over an Au catalyst. Thus, the investigated reaction mechanism of HMR oxidative dehydrogenation is useful for the fundamental understanding of other secondary-alcohol dehydrogenation over Au surfaces. To investigate the elementary catalytic steps ruling both oxygen-free- and oxygen-assisted dehydrogenation of HMR…

Facile preparation of CuBi2O4/TiO2 hetero-systems employed for simulated solar-light selective oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol model compound

2023

The selective photocatalytic oxidation of organic substances is today considered one of the green techniques to synthesize important starting materials in different technological applications. This work reports an efficient, simple and cheap strategy for the synthesis of a new photocatalytic CuBi2O4-TiO2 (CBO/TiO2) heterosystem at room temperature. The prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical measurements. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by performing a probe reaction, namely the partial oxidation of 4-me…

A highly reduced graphene oxide/ZrOx–MnCO3 or –Mn2O3 nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for selective aerial oxidation of benzylic alcohols

2017

Highly reduced graphene oxide (HRG) nanocomposites of manganese carbonate doped with (1%) zirconia (ZrOx) nanoparticles [ZrOx(1%)–MnCO3/(X%)HRG (where X = 0–7)] were prepared employing a facile co-precipitation method in which the percentage of HRG was varied. The resulting nanocomposite was calcined at 300 °C. Further calcination of the catalyst at 500 °C resulted in the conversion of manganese carbonate to manganese oxide [ZrOx(1%)–Mn2O3/(X%)HRG]. The effect of the inclusion of HRG on the catalytic activity along with its comparative performance between carbonates and their respective oxides was studied for the liquid-phase selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols into corresponding aldeh…

Synthesis and Comparative Catalytic Study of Zirconia-MnCO3or -Mn2O3for the Oxidation of Benzylic Alcohols

2016

Abstract We report on the synthesis of the zirconia–manganese carbonate ZrO x (x  %)–MnCO3 catalyst (where x=1–7) that, upon calcination at 500 °C, is converted to zirconia–manganese oxide ZrO x (x  %)–Mn2O3. We also present a comparative study of the catalytic performance of the both catalysts for the oxidation of benzylic alcohol to corresponding aldehydes by using molecular oxygen as the oxidizing agent. ZrO x (x  %)–MnCO3 was prepared through co‐precipitation by varying the amounts of Zr(NO3)4 (w/w %) in Mn(NO3)2. The morphology, composition, and crystallinity of the as‐synthesized product and the catalysts prepared upon calcination were studied by using scanning electron microscopy, tr…

Green Oxidation of Alcohols to Carbonyl Compounds by Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Anaerobic Palladium-Catalyzed Chemoselective Oxidation of Allylic and Benzylic Alcohols with α-Bromo Sulfoxide as a Co-Oxidant.

2007

A chemoselective palladium-catalyzed anaerobic oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols using an α-bromo sulfoxide as a co-oxidant is described for the first time. The catalyst system is simple and has a long life because of the allowance of phosphane ligands under the non-aerobic conditions. The advantages of the described method include no overoxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids because of the mild conditions applied, the tolerance of oxygen-sensitive functionalities such as a carbon-carbon double bond, an organothio group, or a diorganoamino group and the effective preparation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, resulting from the oxidation of primary and secondary …
