Functionalization of silicon surfaces with catalytically active Pd complexes and application to the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols

摘要

A single-crystal silicon surface was modified with a bisoxazo-line-Pd molecular layer and utilized as a highly efficient (catalyst turnover number up to 780 000, 110 ℃, 72 h) and recyclable catalyst in the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols.
