Abstract

A study of secondary, benzylic, and primary alcohols oxidation on a reference Au/TiO2 catalyst is reported. Reactions gave rise to ketones, aldehydes, or esters in good yields. The FT-IR results and catalytic tests data provide to elucidate the reaction mechanism and the specific role of the active sites on titania.
