Aerobic Oxidation of Benzylic Alcohols Catalyzed by Palladium-Bisoxazoline Monolayer on Single Crystal Silicon Surface

摘要

Monolayers of palladium-bisoxazoline complexes were prepared on single crystal silicon surfaces Si(l11) through the hydrosilylation with bisoxazoline-tethered alkenes followed by complexation with Pd(OAc)_2.The catalyst surfaces showed high activity for aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols.
