Abstract

A catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with cobalt porphyrin intercalated heterogeneous hybrid catalyst (CoTPP-Zn 2Al-LDH) has been developed. The results showed that this catalytic system can effectively catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. And the hybrid catalyst can be reused for five times with no appreciable reduction of activity.

A facile and efficient method for the epoxidation of alkenes in the presence of catalytic amount of Co (III) complex supported on Fe3O4/SiO2 NPs is reported. Catalyst was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy.
