Abstract
Palygorskite, a natural, environmentally friendly and inexpensive fibrillar silicate clay mineral, was applied as a catalyst in the oxidation of alcohols in aqueous media. The oxidation transformation effectively proceeded in the presence of an environmentally benign oxidant Oxone ® . Benzyl alcohols, benzhydrols, cyclic and aliphatic alcohols could be oxidized to their corresponding acids or ketones in moderate to high yield and good selectivity at 50 °C or 70 °C in 21 hours.
