Solvent-less Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols Using CrO3/Al2O3 under Ultrasonic Irradiation

Alcohol oxidation plays an essential contribution to the chemical industry. Innovative green techniques, such as ultrasound irradiation, could be economically remarkable by enhancing reaction yield. In this research, design and improvement of a new ultrasound-assisted alcohols procedure using CrO3 supported Al2O3 with addition small amount t- butanol were reported. The was also done without irradiation study sonochemical effect. Based on FTIR GC/MS analyses, effectively oxidized into their corresponding aldehydes in satisfactory yields (74–93%). yield obtained increased applying ultrasonic technique, no over-oxidation products found. Overall, innovative offers several benefits, being easy use, environmentally friendly, capable improving yields, having shorter times.
