Abstract

Green oxidation of alcohols under mild condition is gathering much attention in synthetic organic chemistry. 1 A recent review was published by Mallat and Baiker of alcohol oxidations with molecular oxygen on solid catalysis. 2 Although solid catalysts acting in the liquid phase under mild conditions have been developed and applied in various alcohols oxidation, a major challenge in liquid-phase oxidation of alcohols with solid catalysts is to prevent leaching of the active ...
