Mesoporous silica is a class of silica material with a large specific surface area, high specific
pore volume and meso-sized pores. These properties make mesoporous silica a good …

The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

The selective oxidation of C H bonds and the use of O2 as a stoichiometric oxidant
represent two prominent challenges in organic chemistry. Copper (II) is a versatile oxidant …

Treatment of a stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HAP), Ca10 (PO4) 6 (OH) 2, with PdCl2
(PhCN) 2 gives a new type of palladium-grafted hydroxyapatite. Analysis by means of …

An innovation of the aerobic oxidation of hydrocarbons through catalytic carbon radical
generation under mild conditions was achieved by using N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as a …

New developments in liquid phase catalytic oxidations of alcohols with O2 and H2O2 as the
primary oxidant are reviewed. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts are …

The alcohol group of hydroxymethylfurfural (compound 1, HMF) is preferentially oxidized by
dioxygen and metal/bromide catalysts [Co/Mn/Br, Co/Mn/Zr/Br; Co/Mn= Br/(Co+ Mn)= 1.0 …

A highly efficient catalytic system without transition metals has been developed for aerobic
alcohol oxidations. Under the optimal reaction conditions, various alcohol substrates were …

Conclusion The last 10 years has seen a considerable increase of interest in the area of
metal-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidations. Of the work presented in this review, Markó's Cu …

The development of green, selective, and efficient catalysts, which can aerobically oxidize a
variety of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones, is of both economic and …
