Research Abstract |
A highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst system using hydrotalcite-supported Ag nanoclusters (Ag/HT) was developed. The catalyst system can successfully promote the acceptor-free dehydrogenation of various alcohols. This catalyst system does not require any oxidants or additives, and is tolerant of a wide range of alcohols including less reactive alicyclic alcohols, with high TON. Moreover, less expensive HT-supported copper catalyst wasw also developed both from the ecological and practical points of view. These catalysts were reusable without any loss of activity or selectivity.
