Abstract

A novel heterogenized Pd catalyst, palladium supported by hydrotalcite [Pd (II)-hydrotalcite], has been synthesized. The catalyst is found to be effective for the oxidation of a wide range of alcohols using molecular oxygen as a sole oxidant. In this catalytic system, various alcohols are readily converted to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones selectively in high to excellent yields. It is noteworthy that the catalyst is also applicable to the oxidation of ...
