Dehydrogenation and oxidative coupling of alcohol and amines catalyzed by organosilicon-supported TiO2@PMHSIPN†
Abstract
The catalytic dehydrogenation and tandem transformation of aromatic alcohols, including oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines, were achieved successfully using a catalytic amount of organosilicon-supported titania (TiO2@PMHSIPN), which enables the efficient synthesis of aromatic aldehydes, imines, and benzimidazoles in good to excellent yields.
