Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Vanillyl Alcohol to Vanillin Catalysed by Nanostructured Ce-Zr-O Solid Solutions

A series of Ce 1 − x –Zr x O 2 − δ (x = 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8) mixed oxides were prepared by coprecipitation method and explored for selective oxidation of vanillyl alcohol employing O 2 and acetonitrile as the oxidant and solvent, respectively under base-free conditions. To ascertain the key factors re...
