A Mild and Efficient Catalytic Aerobic Oxidative Dehydrogenation of N-Pyridylindolines

Aerobic oxidative Heck/dehydrogenation reactions of cyclohexenones: efficient access to meta-substituted phenols.

Catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over Mg–V/Mo oxides

Fifteen distinct MgO–V2O5, MgO–MoO3, MgO–V2O5–MoO3, and V2O5–MoO3 compositions were prepared using sol–gel chemistry and their selectivities and conversions for propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) to propylene were measured. The vanadates were more active than the molybdates at lower temperatures; however, the molybdates exhibited higher selectivities at similar conversions. An increase in ...

The Ti3AlC2 MAX Phase as an Efficient Catalyst for Oxidative Dehydrogenation of n‐Butane

Dehydrogenation or oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of alkanes to produce alkenes directly from natural gas/shale gas is gaining in importance. Ti3 AlC2 , a MAX phase, which hitherto had not been used in catalysis, efficiently catalyzes the ODH of n-butane to butenes and butadiene, which are important intermediates for the synthesis of polymers and other compounds. The catalyst, which combines b...

Catalytic amounts of triarylaminium salt initiated aerobic oxidative coupling of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines.

A novel stable radical cation triarylaminium salt able to induce aerobic oxidative α-C-H functionalization of tertiary amines in catalytic amounts has been developed. The reaction is performed in the absence of any other additives under mild conditions and only requires atmosphere air as a sustainable co-oxidant.

Surface-modified carbon nanotubes catalyze oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane.

Butenes and butadiene, which are useful intermediates for the synthesis of polymers and other compounds, are synthesized traditionally by oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-butane over complex metal oxides. Such catalysts require high O2/butane ratios to maintain the activity, which leads to unwanted product oxidation. We show that carbon nanotubes with modified surface functionality efficien...
