A process of oxidizing an alcohol for the production of its corresponding carbonyl compounds is disclosed, wherein the oxidation is performed with oxygen or gases containing oxygen in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least a gold compound and a copper compound. Said alcohol oxidation by gaseous oxidant can achieve a high yield and selectivity with minimized degradation products or waste organic solvents.
本发明公开了一种氧化醇以生产其相应羰基化合物的工艺,其中氧化是在至少由
金化合物和
铜化合物组成的催化剂存在下,用
氧气或含
氧气体进行的。利用气态氧化剂进行上述醇氧化,可以获得高产率和高选择性,同时将降解产物或废弃有机溶剂降至最低。
