In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...

the aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using cu3/2[pmo12o40]/sio2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. this reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

a series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (abtsc) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (tcts) were synthesized with co(ii), ni(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii) and ag(i) salts (chloride and acetate). these complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1hnmr), ...

in an environmentally benign solventless system, alcohols are rapidly oxidized to carbonyl compounds using hexamethylenetetramine-bromine on wet alumina under microwave irradiation.

In the present research, the selective oxidation of lauryl alcohol to lauraldehyde was studied under liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an oxidizing agent and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer catalyst. Chromium (VI) reagents are used in these oxidations since the alcohols are selectively oxidized <e...

well faceted cuo nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. a possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by ft-ir study. the large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances in catalysis as d...
