Selective iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water to carboxylic acids mediated by additives

Abstract

Direct catalytic oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids is very appealing, but an economic and friendly catalytic system should be further explored from views of less waste and convenient procedure....

An effcient strategy for halogenation addition of olefins catalyzed by Polyoxometalate-based Iron Catalyst

“…Our research group has documented catalytic reactions mediated by Anderson-type polyoxometalate catalysts. These catalysts have pro ciently enabled the selective oxidation of ole ns to aldehydes, ketones, and acids [32]; alcohols to carboxylic acids [33]; aldehydes to carboxylic acids [34]; and amines to imines [35].…”

Base metal iron catalyzed sustainable oxidation of vanillyl alcohol to vanillic acid in deep eutectic solvents and implementation of vanillic acid for fine-chemical synthesis

“…Very recently, Jiang and Wei and coworkers reported selective oxidation of vanillyl alcohol to vanillic acid (95% conversion and 86% isolated yield) using an inorganic ligand-supported FeMo 6 system as a heterogeneous catalyst. 28 The oxidation was performed in water at 70 °C using O 2 as the oxidant and KCl as the additive. In addition, a few reports described enzymatic oxidation of vanillin to vanillic acid using unheated milk, 29 soil bacteria 30 and freshly prepared liver slices of guinea-pig.…”

Gold nanocrystal-loaded 2D supramolecular network for plasmon-enhanced nitrogen fixation

“…Polyoxometalates (POMs) are inorganic anion clusters composed of metal oxides with high catalytic activity. 17,18 Metalsubstituted Keggin-type POMs have been proven to possess outstanding performance in catalytic N 2 reduction. 19,20 POMs containing Mo, W, and V elements show high photocatalytic activity, especially when they are loaded on two-dimensional (2D) materials (reduced graphene oxide and g-C 3 N 4 ).…”
