Improvement the Activity and Selectivity of Fenton System in the Oxidation of Alcohols

الملخص EN

The reactivity and selectivity of Fenton system (Fe2+/H2O2) were improved with N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as cocatalyst.

The oxidation process of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde has been studied.

The reaction catalyzed by this new Fe2+/H2O2/NHPI system can be well performed under room temperature without adding any organic solvent.

Besides, this catalyst system is effective for the oxidation of different alcohols.
