Abstract

Abstract : The C-scorpoinate Fe(ii )complex immobilized on functionalized MWCNT provides a highly efficient, recyclable catalyst for neat conversion of alcohols into ketones. Abstract : The highly efficient eco-friendly synthesis of ketones (yields over 99%) from secondary alcohols is achieved by combination of [FeCl2 {η 3 -HC(pz)3 }] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) supported on functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes and microwave irradiation, in a solvent-free medium. The carbon homoscorpionate iron(ii ) complex is the first one of this class to be used as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols.
