Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
Tebandeke, Emmanuel; Lukato, Simon; Wendt, Ola F.; Wallenberg, Reine; Kasozi, Gabriel N.; Naziriwo, Betty; Persson, Axel; Folkers, Laura C. (Elsevier, 2021)We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ...
