Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, function integrated heterogeneous catalysts were precisely designed to develop highly efficient and novel reactions based on dehydrogenation. During this study, we have successfully developed several environmentally benign reactions, such as (1) oxidative dehydrogenation of saturated ketones to unsaturated ketones using molecular oxygen as an oxidant, (2) selective synthesis of monoarylamines, diarylamines, and triarylamines via dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexanone, and (3) dehydrogenative cross-coupling. Moreover, we succeeded in C-S bond metathesis, decarbonylation of aldehydes, and oxalic acid diester synthesis using selective oxidation of alcohols.
