Abstract

Catalytic allylic alcohol oxidation to aldehydes is an industrial process that necessitates chemoselectivity. Surface PdO (on Pd) enables this transformation but does not represent optimal metal utilisation. Here we report a facile synthesis route to produce isolated surface PdO catalytic sites on an earth-abundant metal (NiO) for cinnamyl alcohol oxidation.
