Ferulic acid dissolved in water is selectively oxidized to vanillic acid in high yield (60%) under remarkably mild and green conditions, namely at room temperature with air as primary oxidant, over a catalytic amount of nanostructured Bi2WO6. The process is general and opens the route to the selective oxidation of natural substances into derivatives of significant applicative relevance.

Abstract
Ferulic acid dissolved in water is selectively oxidized to vanillic acid in high yield (60%) under remarkably mild and green conditions, namely at room temperature with air as primary oxidant, over a catalytic amount of nanostructured Bi2WO6. The process is general and opens the route to the selective oxidation of natural substances into derivatives of significant applicative relevance.File in questo prodotto:
