Abstract

Abstract A highly dispersed core–shell silver nanoparticle–ceria nanocomposite catalyst (AgNP@CeO2-D) was prepared. The addition of bases was found to enhance the catalytic efficiency of AgNP@CeO2-D significantly in the chemoselective reduction of diverse unsaturated aldehydes to the corresponding unsaturated alcohols.
