Outline of Final Research Achievements

Selective oxidation of lower alkanes, which are main components of natural gas, is a critical research topic to be released from the society using oils as a sole chemical resource. A highly active catalysts for selective oxidation of lower alkanes has been developed by combining a solid acid, mesoporous silica-alumina, and a manganese catalyst. The catalyst successfully catalyzes hexane oxidation with H2O2 to 2-hexanone and 2-hexanol.
