Enhancing selectivity in oxidation catalysis with sol–gel nanocomposites
Pamela Gancitano, Rosaria Ciriminna, Maria Luisa Testa, Alexandra Fidalgo, Laura M. Ilharco and Mario Pagliaro
Valuable organic compounds such as
-hydroxy acids are easily synthesised with relevant selectivity enhancement using a sol–gel hydrophobized nanostructured silica matrix doped with the organocatalyst TEMPO: A materials science based synthetic route which cannot be achieved via classical homogeneous synthesis.
