  • Title: Recent advances in immobilized metal catalysts for environmentally benign oxidation of alcohols.
    Author: Matsumoto T, Ueno M, Wang N, Kobayashi S.
    Journal: Chem Asian J; 2008 Feb 01; 3(2):196-214. PubMed ID: 18232022.
    Abstract:
    One of the most significant organic transformations in catalyst technology is the selective oxidation of alcohols. The acceleration of catalyst discovery in this field contributes to the economic and environmental impact in the production of useful materials. Heterogeneous catalysts combined with environmentally benign oxidants, such as molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, are major challenges of exploratory research in the oxidation of alcohols. A wide range of recoverable catalysts has now emerged for these oxidation reactions. In this Focus Review, we present an overview of recent developments in immobilized metal catalysts and evaluate the potential of transition metals in the heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation of alcohols.
