Lewis acidic strength controlled highly selective synthesis of oxime via liquid-phase ammoximation over titanosilicates†
Abstract
The Lewis acidity of titanosilicates determines the selectivity of the oxime in ammoximation. Higher Lewis acidic strength of Ti active sites could promote free H2O2 to participate in the highly efficient formation of NH2OH by lowering the reaction activation energy for the formation of Ti–OOH species, and thus fundamentally suppress the side reactions of deep oxidation.
