Selective Catalytic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol to Benzaldehyde by Nitrates

In this paper, ferric nitrate was used to oxidize benzyl alcohol in a mild condition and demonstrated its better performance compared to HNO3. In the reaction, the conversion rate and product selectivity could be both as high as 95% in N2 atmosphere, while the benzaldehyde yield also reached 85% in...
