The selective aqueous phase oxidation of 1,6-hexanediol to
adipic acid was investigated under base-free conditions in
the presence of Au-basic oxide materials. The formation of
AA followed multiple sequential oxidations of HDO via the
aldehyde. The catalytic performance of Au-based catalysts
prepared by the sol immobilization method showed that the
conversions and selectivity to AA highly depend on the
basicity of the support. Au/MgO was the most efficient
catalyst among the other base oxides. However, the main
drawback was the leaching of Mg. Subsequently, new Au/
