Efficacious and Selective Oxidation of Atrazine with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Magnetite Nanoparticles: Influence of Reaction Media

摘要

An efficient catalytic system has been developed for the oxidation of atrazine with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in organic solvents as well as in ionic liquids to yield N-dealkylated products selectively. The superior oxidation efficacy and regioselectivity was observed in neutral and non-coordinating ionic liquid [bmim][PF6].
