Palladium nanoparticles entrapped in aluminum hydroxide: dual catalyst for alkene hydrogenation and aerobic alcohol oxidation

Org Lett. 2005 Mar 17;7(6):1077-9. doi: 10.1021/ol047381w.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A new aluminum hydroxide-supported palladium catalyst (1) made by a one-pot synthesis through nanoparticle generation and gelation shows a dual catalytic activity for olefinic hydrogenation and aerobic alcohol oxidation.
