Abstract

AbstractA new magnetic nanostructured core–shell‐like Fe3O4@Boehmite‐NH2‐CoII NPs as an environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalyst reported earlier by our group, has been found to be very effective for the oxidation of alcohols in aqueous media using household bleach at room temperature. The method has been applied for the oxidation of a range of primary and secondary benzylic, allylic and aliphatic alcohols with variable functionalities in excellent yields and selectivity. An aqueous medium, magnetic separation by an external magnetic field, low catalyst loading and catalyst reusability up to six runs without significant decrease in catalytic activity made the present procedure sustainable, economically viable and better than the most previously reported protocols.
