Abstract
Various Mg-Al type hydrotalcites were examined as catalysts for the epoxidation of olefins and N-oxidation of pyridines using hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic activity of hydrotalcites increased with increasing the basicity of their surface. Adding cationic surfactants, e.g., n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, to the above system remarkably accelerated the reaction rate. The hydrotalcites, into which were introduced both Ru and Co cations in the Brucite layers, were found to be good catalysts for the oxidation of various alcohols in the presence of molecular oxygen. Moreover, these hydrotalcites could smoothly catalyze also the oxygenation of diphenylmethane, fluorene, and xanthene at benzylic position with excellent yields. The hydrotalcite catalysts could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused with retention of their high catalytic performance for the above oxidations.
