Cr(III) or Ce(IV) Impregnated Perfluorinated Resin-Sulfonic Acid Catalyst for the Oxidation of Alcohols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.62.519

Sereval polymer supported catalysts are prepared by treatment of Nafion 551 (abbreviated NAFK below) with metal salts.Cr/NAFK and Ce/NAFK found to be effective catalysts for the dehydrogenative oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding ketones by means of t-butyl hydroperoxide.Selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary ones was performed using a Ce/NAFK-NaBrO3 system.
