Title Efficient and green oxidation of alcohols with tert-butyl hydrogenperoxide catalyzed by a recyclable magnetic core-shell nanoparticle-supported oxo-vanadium ephedrine complex
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Alcohol, Carbonyl compound, Oxidation, tert-Butyl hydrogenperoxide, Magnetic nanoparticles, VO(ephedrine)2 complex
Abstract A novel method for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds has been successfully developed using tert-butyl hydrogenperoxide (TBHP) in the presence of a catalytic amount of recyclable magnetic nanoparticle-supported oxo-vanadium ephedrine complex (VO(ephedrine)2@MNPs) in PEG as a green solvent at 80 C. The catalyst can be magnetically recycled and successfully reused in six subsequent reaction cycles with only slight decreases of its catalytic activity.
