From: Efficient iron single-atom catalysts for selective ammoxidation of alcohols to nitriles
Reaction conditions: 20 mmol benzyl alcohol, 1 g catalyst, 150 mg of aq. NH3·H2O (25–28 wt%) for each 0.2 mmol substrate, 0.1 MPa oxygen, 100 mL H2O, 70 °C, 24 h and 14 h. Yields were determined by GC using n-hexadecane as standard.
