Xia, Yu-Yan; Lv, Qing-Yang; Yuan, Hua; Wang, Jia-Yi published an article in 2021. The article was titled ãSelective oxidation of alcohols to nitriles with high-efficient Co-[Bmim]Br/C catalyst systemã? and you may find the article in Chemical Papers.Computed Properties of C6H7NO The information in the text is summarized as follows:
An efficient method for catalyzing the ammoxidation of aromatic alcs. to aromatic nitriles was developed, in which a new heterogeneous catalyst based on transition metal elements was employed, the new catalyst was named Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700 and then characterized by X-ray photo-electronic spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The reaction was carried out by two consecutive dehydrogenations under the catalysis of Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700, which catalytically oxidized the alc. to the aldehyde, and then the aldehyde was subjected to ammoxidation to the nitrile. The catalyst system was suitable for a wide range of substrates and nitriles obtained in high yields, especially, the conversion rate of benzyl alc., 4-methoxybenzyl alc., 4-chlorobenzyl alc. and 4-nitrobenzyl alc. reached 100%. The substitution of ammonia and oxygen for toxic cyanide to participate in the reaction accords with the theory of green chem. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 3-Pyridinemethanol(cas: 100-55-0Computed Properties of C6H7NO)
3-Pyridinemethanol(cas: 100-55-0) belongs to pyridine. When pyridine is adsorbed on oxide surfaces or in porous materials, the following species are commonly observed: (i) pyridine coordinated to Lewis acid sites, (ii) pyridine H-bonded to weakly acidic hydroxyls, and (iii) protonated pyridine. At high coverage, physisorbed pyridine and protonated dimers can also be observed.Computed Properties of C6H7NO
