“…These processes require toxic, expensive, or hazardous chemicals (such as pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), permanganate (MnO 4 − ), dichromate (Cr 2 O 7 2− ), chromium trioxide (CrO 3 )), as oxidants that lead to safety and ecological problems. 6,7 Thus, the development of a new method for the construction of heterogeneous (nano)catalysts is a matter of increasing attention in the catalysis field. In recent years, biopolymer derived nanocatalysts have been considered as heterogeneous catalysts with excellent catalytic activity for chemical transformations, particularly, in oxidation reactions.…”
