Significance
Hydrotalcite (HT) reacted with 5.0 mM aqueous solution of AgNO3 at 3 °C for 1 h to afford HT-supported Ag(I). The Ag(I) ions were reduced with hydrogen to give the Ag/HT catalyst (eq. 1). The oxidation (dehydrogenation) of various alcohols 1 without oxidant took place under Ar atmosphere in the presence of the Ag/HT catalyst to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds 2 with up to 99% conversion and chemoselectivity (eq. 2). This catalyst was reused four times in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol with no significant loss of activity and chemoselectivity.
