In this study, nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GRO) and ZnO nanoparticle-doped MnCO3 ([ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)GRO]) were synthesized via a facile, straightforward co-precipitation technique. Interestingly, it was noticed that the incorporation of GRO in the catalytic system could noticeably improve the catalytic efficiency compared to a catalyst (ZnO-MnCO3) without GRO, for aerial oxidation of benzyl alc. (BzOH) employing O2 as a nature-friendly oxidant under base-free conditions. The impacts of various reaction factors were thoroughly explored to optimize reaction conditions using oxidation of BzOH to benzaldehyde (BzH) as a model substrate. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric anal., Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, field-emission SEM, Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Raman spectroscopy. The (1%)ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)GRO exhibited significant specific activity (67 mmol.g-1.hr-1) with full conversion of BzOH and >99% BzH selectivity within just 6 min. The catalytic efficiency of the (1%)ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)GRO nanocomposite was significantly better than the (1%)ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)HRG and (1%)ZnO-MnCO3 catalysts, presumably due to the existence of oxygen-possessing groups on the GRO surface and as well as a very high surface area that could have been instrumental in uniformly dispersing the active sites of the catalyst, i.e., ZnO-MnCO3. Under optimum circumstances, various kinds of alcs. ROH (R = benzyl, furan-2-ylmethyl, cyclohexyl, 1-phenylethyl, etc.) were selectively transformed to resp. carbonyls, e.g., cyclohexanone with full convertibility over the (1%)ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)GRO catalyst. Furthermore, the highly effective (1%)ZnO-MnCO3/(1%)GRO catalyst could be successfully reused and recycled over five consecutive runs with a marginal reduction in its performance and selectivity.(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6Synthetic Route of C7H7BrO) was used in this study.
(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6) undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls.Synthetic Route of C7H7BrO It is used in the synthesis of amphiphilic, symmetric rod-coil, triblock copolymer of poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) and poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate)
