Abstract:
K2 CO3 /Glycerin as a deep eutectic solvent (DES) was anchored covalently onto functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and showed a significant activity towards the oxidation of various alcohols under mild conditions with a short reaction time and good to high yield. A combination of the magnetic nanoparticles and deep eutectic solvent offers a novel, green, reusable catalyst with easy separation. Also, the catalyst structure was well characterized using techniques such as FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TGA, BET, VSM, TEM, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

Oxidation of Alcohols
The process of oxidation in a chemical reaction is observed in any of the three forms:
Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide
Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Potassium Permanganate
Preparation of Aldehydes and Ketones from Alcohols, Alkenes, and Alkynes
Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...
