Sustainable aerobic oxidation of sp 2 and sp 3 functionalized hydrocarbons using CoO x -decorated MgO in the presence of a bio-derived solvent
Abstract
CoO x -MgO-15 showed excellent catalytic activity for the aerobic epoxidation of broad range of substrates in bio-derived γ-valerolactone (GVL), delivering higher activity and selectivity than conventional non-polar solvents.
