Abstract :

Alcohol oxidation is an important reaction in organic syntheses. Some of these reactions must beunder difficult conditions in respect of high temperature and pressure. In many cases, reactions areconducted by environmentally in appropriate solutions. In this study, preparing an effectivenanocatalyst and estimating the optimum provisions of its production processes are assessed. Twomajor and crucial factors of(Mn2+/Co2+)-Al2O3 catalyst are molar ratio of Mn2+/Co2+ and masspercent of Al2O3.Our experimental results showed that 1:1 molar ratio and 15% of Al2O3 by mass arefairly suitable. Prepered catalyst was used in the oxidation reaction.
