Co-N-Si/AC Catalyst for Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohols to Esters under Mild Conditions.

ABSTRACT: A stable, earth-abundant, reusable cobalt-based heterogeneous catalyst is developed for the oxidative esterification of alcohols under ambient conditions, featuring broad substrate scope, providing good to excellent product yields. This protocol enables easy recyclability of the catalyst, measured up to five times without significant loss of efficiency. The active sites of Co-N-Si/AC are proposed to be Co-N species.
