Selective oxidation of primary carbon-hydrogen bonds with oxygen is crucial importance for the sustainable exploitation available feedstocks. To date, heterogeneous catalysts have either shown low activity and/or selectivity or required activated donors. We report here that supported gold-palladium (Au-Pd) nanoparticles on carbon TiO(2) are active in toluene and related molecules, giving high selectivities to benzyl benzoate under mild solvent-free conditions. Differences between catalytic...
A radical route from methane to methanol The conversion of into chemicals usually proceeds through high-temperature routes that first form more reactive carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Agarwal et al. report a low-temperature (50°C) in aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) for oxidizing high yield (92%). They used colloidal gold-palladium nanoparticles as catalyst. primary oxidant was ; isotopic labeling showed H activated methyl radicals, which subsequently incorporated . Science , this issue p. 223

The catalyst stable, re-usable and activates giving >90 % selectivity 10 conversion a closed catalytic cycle (see scheme).
Direct and selective: Supported gold–palladium nanoparticles are active for the oxidation of methane, giving a high selectivity formation methyl hydroperoxide methanol, using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant (see picture). The optimal methanol is achieved by performing reaction in presence that has been generated situ from oxygen.
The reaction of glycerol with urea to form carbonate is mostly reported in the patent literature and date there have been very few fundamental studies mechanism. Furthermore, most previous involved homogeneous catalysts whereas identification heterogeneous for this would be highly beneficial. This a attractive that utilises two inexpensive readily available raw materials chemical cycle overall, results fixation CO2. also provides route up-grade waste produced large quantities during...
The development of a catalytic, one-step route for the oxidation methane to methanol remains one greatest challenges within catalysis. Of particular importance is need develop an efficient that proceeds under mild reaction conditions so as avoid deeper and economic limitations currently practiced syngas route. Recently, it was demonstrated copper- iron-containing zeolite catalyst such process. in question (Cu–Fe–ZSM-5) capable selectively transforming aqueous medium with hydrogen peroxide...
Abstract The partial oxidation of methane to methanol presents one the most challenging targets in catalysis. Although this is focus much research, until recently, approaches had proceeded at low catalytic rates (<10 h −1 ), not resulted a closed cycle, or were unable produce with reasonable selectivity. Recent research has demonstrated, however, that system composed an iron‐ and copper‐containing zeolite able catalytically convert turnover frequencies (TOFs) over 14 000 by using H 2 O as...
Fe- and Cu-containing zeolites have recently been shown to be efficient catalysts for the one-step selective transformation of methane into methanol in an aqueous medium at only 50 °C, using H2O2 as green oxidant. Previously, we observed that Fe species alone are capable catalyzing this highly transformation. However, further catalytic testing spectroscopic investigations demonstrate although these extra-framework active component catalyst, significant promotion is upon incorporation other...
