| Octahedral Molecular Sieves (OMS) materials have been known to be effective for the oxidation of alcohols with air as well as oxidation of alkenes in the presence of peroxide. This effort is a continuation of this study to other un-activated alcohols and alkenes. Unexpected results and applications for industrial use have been explored. The relationship between mechanism and activity has been studied. The characteristics of shape selective oxidations will be discussed. The modifications of OMS along with new catalytic reactions will be mentioned. Environmentally friendly reactions of oxidation will be proposed using OMS materials. |
