Abstract
This study explored the liquid phase selective oxidations with peroxymonosulfate as the oxidant activated by carbocatalysts. Various carbon materials functionalized with heteroatoms were tested to oxidize alcohol or other hydrocarbons into the desirable aldehyde or ketone product with high selectivity. The reaction pathways for the oxidant activation and the subsequent oxidations were comprehensively studied. A facile and environmentally benign approach to highly efficient selective oxidations was established by optimizing the reacting conditions.
