Abstract :

Heterogenized catalysts containing biocompatible supports green aspect of the procedure. Using cellulose as a support in the different catalytic reactions showed high activity of cellulose supported catalysts. Nowadays, many efforts have been accomplished on the improvement of efficient catalytic methods using Metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) as attractive oxidation catalysts. MPcs shows high activity, rather facile preparation in a large scale and chemical and thermal stability. In the present work, MPcs was immobilized on Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC). The prepared nanocomposite revealed good catalytic activity for the oxidation of alcohols, ethylbenzene and styrene with high conversions. Furthermore, good selectivities have been observed during oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones and also oxidation of ethylbenzene and styrene to acetophenone. References 1.
