T. Raja et al., Calcined layered double hydroxides as basic heterogeneous catalysts for the Oppenauer oxidation of alcohols, B CHEM S J, 72(9), 1999, pp. 2117-2119
The oxidation of various alcohols with a ketone was carried out over a seri
es of calcined layered double hydroxides, producing corresponding ketones i
n a batch reaction system. From the observed results it was found that the
layered double hydroxide, Mg-II-Al-III (4:1) ratio), calcined in air at 723
K efficiently oxidize alcohols compared with other LDHs.
