Liquid-phase oxidation of alkylaromatics by a H-atom transfer mechanism with a new heterogeneous CoSBA-15 catalyst

Abstract
A new pseudo-tetrahedral Co(II) complex has been grafted onto the surface of SBA-15 and successfully utilized for the catalytic oxidization of alkylaromatic substrates with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) via an H-atom transfer mechanism.
