Solvent-free and melt aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols using Pd/Cu₂(BDC)₂DABCO–MOF prepared by one-step and through reduction by dimethylformamide

Abstract

In this paper we report an efficient method for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aldehydes by supported palladium nanoparticles in nanoporous metal–organic framework Cu₂(BDC)₂(DABCO) that Pd(<sc>ii</sc>) in MOF reduced without using any external reducing agent.
