M. Pagliaro et R. Ciriminna, New recyclable catalysts for aerobic alcohols oxidation: sol-gel ormosils doped with TPAP, TETRAHEDR L, 42(27), 2001, pp. 4511-4514
Novel nanoporous materials have been prepared that are recyclable catalysts
for the aerobic oxidation of activated and non-activated alcohols. The cat
alysts are organically modified silicas (ormosils) doped with tetra-n-propy
lammonium perruthenate (TPAP) via the sol-gel process. Hydrophobicity and f
lexibility of the sol-gel cages were crucial in promoting catalysis. (C) 20
