Resin-immobilized CuO and Cu nanocomposites for alcohol oxidation.
Resin immobilized stable, spherical CuO nanoparticles prepared in the presence of cyclodextrin (CD) act as catalysts for liquid phase alcohol oxidation in air. The catalytic activity of the CuO nanocomposites and its green chemistry approach make it superior to the related resin-bound Cu(0) nanocomposite. The effect of alcohol chain length and electron-donating or -withdrawing groups influence product yield. The nanocomposites exhibit good reusability, simple workup procedure, and a straightforward approach to aldehyde formation.
