Development of highly active and selective novel Pd based acetoxylation catalysts and prevention of catalyst deactivation by Bi modification

Chem Commun (Camb). 2004 Nov 7:(21):2416-7. doi: 10.1039/b410310f. Epub 2004 Sep 23.

Abstract

A first approach to successful prevention of catalyst deactivation while simultaneously achieving extremely high selectivity of benzyl acetate (> or = 95%) at significantly high toluene conversion (> 70%) by gas phase acetoxylation over novel Pd-Sb-Bi/TiO2 catalysts.
