Abstract
A number of hydrotalcite (Mg-Al, Mn-Al, Co-Al, Ni-Al, Mg-Fe, Mg-Cr and Cu-Al) catalysts, with or without MnO-14-exchange, were evaluated for their performance in the solvent-free oxidation of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid by tert-butyl hydroperoxide under reflux in the absence of any solvent. The MnO-14 - exchanged Mg-Al-hydrotalcite (Mg/Al = 10) showed high activity in the oxidation of different aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to their corresponding acids and also showed excellent reusability in the oxidation process which is environmental-friendly.
