Catalytic Oxidation of Alkyl Benzene

Abstract:

Oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds of alkyl benzene for the synthesis of corresponding carbonyl compounds is a very important reaction for both commercial manufacturing and basic research. This paper reviews various kinds of catalysts involved in the oxidation of alkyl aromatic and their activity in various conditions and probable mechanism of action where applicable. The rate of conversion of alkyl aromatic and per cent of the yield of the corresponding products for each catalyst has been included.
