Activity of Manganese Carboxylates in the Process of Liquid-Phase Oxidation of Ethylbenzene with Atmospheric Oxygen

The process of oxidation of hydrocarbon with oxygen proceeds with formation of the corresponding hydroperoxide as the primary product [1,2]. A catalyst is the most important factor that influences on the direction of flow of the oxidation reaction. Catalysts based on metals of variable valency, and their derivatives are the most active in reactions of oxidation of hydrocarbon [3].

Multistep protection strategy for preparation of atomically dispersed Fe-N catalyst for selective oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone

The fabrication of catalysts with atomically dispersed metal active sites is a hot research topic in catalysis, but the controllable preparation of single-atom catalysts still possesses several challenges due to...

Covalent anchoring of N-hydroxyphthalimide on silica via robust imide bonds as a reusable catalyst for selective aerobic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone

Aerobic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone was found efficient and environmentally friendly; and homogeneous NHPI being active for the catalytic transformation suffers from separation and recovery. Here, NHPI was covalently...

Protein powder derived nitrogen-doped carbon supported atomically dispersed iron sites for selective oxidation of ethylbenzene

A single atom catalyst Fe1/NC, synthesized by ball milling with protein powder as the nitrogen source, exhibited superb performance for selective oxidation of ethylbenzene.
