A series of hydrotalcite-like compounds with various Cu:Mg:Al molar ratios were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The catalytic performance for oxidative esterification of aldehydes was investigated. X-ray diffraction, N-2 adsorption-desorption (BET), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H-2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the scanning electron microscope (SEM), the transmission electron microscope and atomic absorption spectrometry were used to characterize the catalysts. The results showed that the benzyl benzoate product was obtained in good to excellent yield using tert-butyl peroxybenzoate as oxidant at 90 degrees C under air atmosphere over Cu2Mg1Al1-LDH catalyst. The catalyst can be recovered and used with 45% conversion after recycling five times. The oxidative esterification reaction in the heterogeneous system is environmentally friendly.The Cu2Mg1Al1-LDH catalyst prepared by co-precipitation method showed high catalytic activity for oxidative esterification of aldehydes. 81.0% yield of benzyl benzoate with benzaldehyde and toluene as reactants was obtained using tert-butyl peroxybenzoate as oxidant at 90 degrees C under air atmosphere over Cu2Mg1Al1-LDH catalyst. The catalyst can be recovered and used with 45% conversion after recycling five runs. The oxidative esterification reaction in the heterogeneous system is environmentally friendly.
