In the present work, we have reported the in situ oxidation of manganese (II) acetate to MnO2 nanoparticles through the thermal plasma carbonized natural hydroxyapatite (MnO2/TP-NHAp) as a neoteric sustainable method. Interestingly, the thermal plasma-processed surface of the NHAp shows a great ability for oxidation of the manganese (II) without need of any external oxidizing agents. The cataly...

Novel nano-catalysts (Nano ZnO and Fe doped ZnO (Fe(0.1)Zn(0.99)O) synthesized by co-precipitation method in aqueous solution as new nanocatalysts and characterized by common techniques as FTIR, XRD, SEM and UVD.

A formal anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of allylic alcohols using a Ru catalyst via tandem oxidation/1,4-conjugate addition/1,2-reduction was developed. Thus, the reaction of allylic alcohols with amines was performed in the presence of the catalyst generated from RuClH(CO)(PPh3)3 and 2,6-bis(n-butyliminomethyl)pyridine in situ to afford the corresponding γ-amino alcohols efficiently.

We demonstrate an efficient enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols catalyzed by Mn(III)-salen complex using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the oxidant. The new protocol is very efficient for the oxidative kinetic resolution of a variety of secondary alcohols, including ortho-substituted benzylic alcohols.

An economic and practical AIBN-initiated aerobic oxidation system of benzylic alcohols, hetero aryl alcohols and allyl alcohols was developed for the first time. Moderate to excellent yields were obtained with a broad substrate scope. Moreover, a proposed mechanism of a radical process was assumed and confirmed by the key intermediate detected.

The aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using Cu3/2[PMo12O40]/SiO2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. This reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.

The use of in situ generated (NHC)-Ni catalytic species (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) allows for the synthesis, in short reaction times, of a variety of tertiary alcohols from secondary alcohols through a domino oxidation-addition protocol.

A selective oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes by shaking with chromium trioxide supported on aluminium silicate at room temperature under solvent free conditions is reported. This new procedure can also oxidise secondary alcohols.
