“…More details on the engineering aspects of alcohol oxidation can be found elsewhere. 19,59,90,[95][96][97][98][99][100][101] Formation of strongly adsorbed byproducts during alcohol oxidation on Pt-group metals has been frequently reported. 43,80,85,89,102,103 Typical side reactions are the aldol condensation and oligomerization of the carbonyl compound product [104][105][106][107][108][109] and the decomposition of alcohols mainly via the carbonyl compound formed in situ, affording adsorbed CO and carbonaceous species (C x H y ) (Scheme 5).…”
