Abstract
A copper-iron mixed oxide was deposited by the washcoating procedure over cordierite honeycomb monoliths for its use as a heterogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis processes. In particular, the prepared catalyst, characterized by techniques such as X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDS, laser granulometry, adherence tests, Temperature-Programmed Oxidation and Temperature-Programmed Reduction, showed an excellent yield and stability in the selective production of the allylic ester derived from the Kharasch-Sosnovsky oxidation of cyclohexene with benzoic acid. The use of a structured catalyst here proposed opens up an interesting alternative to homogeneous catalysis in the field of synthetic chemistry.
