C. Bronnimann et al., LOCALIZED BASIFICATION OF CATALYTIC SURFACES ENHANCES THE SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF L-SORBOSE OVER SUPPORTED PT CATALYSTS MODIFIED WITH TERTIARY-AMINES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (13), 1995, pp. 1377-1378
Modification of supported Pt catalysts with strongly adsorbing tertiar
y amines is shown to be an efficient method to increase the reaction r
ate in the direct oxidation of L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid with
molecular oxygen, and to increase the selectivity of the base-sensiti
ve reaction.
