A highly dispersed cobalt catalyst supported on 12-tungstosilicic acid modified zirconia was successfully synthesized as a clean and selective oxidation catalyst. It demonstrated excellent selectivity and turnover number in oxidizing benzyl alcohol and styrene to carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions.
Traditional procedures for oxidation processes suffer from a lack of selectivity, the use of organic solvents, the toxicity of the reagents, and waste production. As a cleaner alternative, highly dispersed Co over 12-tungstosilicicacid modified zirconia was synthesized and used for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol and styrene with molecular oxygen to carbonyl compounds under environmentally benign solvent-free conditions. The supremacy of the present catalyst lies in achieving excellent selectivity (>90%) for products with a very high turnover number. The catalytic activity of the recycled catalysts was also explored under optimized conditions to confirm sustainability. Further, the viability of the catalyst was studied via oxidation of various alcohols and alkenes under optimized conditions as well as superiority by comparison with the reported catalysts.
