B. Jayachandran et al., CHROMIUM SILICALITE-2 (CRS-2) - AN EFFICIENT CATALYST FOR THE DIRECT OXIDATION OF PRIMARY AMINES TO NITRO-COMPOUNDS WITH TBHP, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (15), 1995, pp. 1523-1524
A chromium-containing medium-pore molecular sieve (Si:Cr > 140:1) havi
ng MEL (CrS-2) topology efficiently catalyses the direct oxidation of
various primary amines to the corresponding nitro compounds using 70%
tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant.
