Abstract:
In this paper, we have produced carboxylic acids by the oxidation of various alcohols in the presence of CO2 using SBA-15/IL supported Cu(II) (SBA-15/IL/Cu(II)) as nanocatalyst. The obtained products showed to have excellent yields by taking into account of SBA-15/IL/Cu(II) nanocatalyst. In addition, the analysis of EDX, SEM, TGA, TEM, XPS, and FT-IR showed the heterogeneous structure of SBA-15/IL/Cu (II) catalyst. It is determined that, after using SBA-15 excess, the catalytic stability of the system was enhanced. Moreover, hot filtration provided a full vision in the heterogeneous catalyst nature. The recycling as well as reuse of the catalyst were studied in cases of coupling reactions many times. Moreover, we have studied the mechanism of the coupling reactions.
