Abstract

The controlled dispersion of polymeric sulfonic acids on suitable heterogeneous supports paves the way to a new catalytic method for the oxidation of a variety of benzylic methylenes to the corresponding carbonyls by using hydrogen peroxide; narrowly dispersed silica nanoparticles covered by fluorinated sulfonic acids ionomers allow selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde, minimizing undesired side reactions and formation of wastes.
