Vapour phase oxidation of tetralin over Cr and Fe substituted MCM-41 molecular sieves

Oxidation of condensed cyclic hydrocarbons with H2O2 in the presence of modified MCM-41 and SBA-15 mesoporous catalysts

“…Vapor phase oxidation of tetralin over Cr and Fe-containing MCM-41 mesoporous silicate was reported by Mahendiran et al [5] and it was established that co-existence of both Cr 3+ and Cr 6+ species in the framework is necessary for high conversion of tetralin and high selectivity to 1-tetralone.…”

Kinetic resolution of (R,S)-α-tetralol catalyzed by crosslinked Candida antarctica lipase B enzyme supported on mesocellular foam: A nanoscale enzyme reactor approach

“…Thus enantimeric pure (R)-α-tetralol has great economical value as it can be used as precursors for calcium antagonists [19]. Various strategies have been used in the synthesis of enatiopure (R)-α-tetralol using chemical [20][21][22][23][24], and enzymatic routes [25][26][27]. The industrial chemical synthesis procedure has their own limitation in term of operating conditions, generation of toxic by-products and disposal without harm to the environment.…”

Structural and Catalytic Properties of a Novel Vanadium Containing Solid Core Mesoporous Shell Silica Catalysts for Gas Phase Oxidation Reaction

“…Therefore, the gas-phase oxidation of organic compounds over heterogeneous catalysts is environmentally benign from the viewpoint of "green chemistry" [24,25].…”
