Highly efficient oxidation of alcohols and aromatic compounds catalysed by the Ru-Co-Al hydrotalcite in the presence of molecular oxygen

Abstract

The ruthenium hydrotalcite having cobalt cations, Ru-Co-Al-CO₃ HT, is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of various kinds of alcohols in the presence of molecular oxygen.
