Noble metal catalysed aerial oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes in supercritical carbon dioxide

Platinum and palladium supported on carbons are shown to be excellent catalysts for selective oxidation of organic alcohols to aldehydes (>99%) at high yields using dioxygen as an oxidant in supercritical CO2 fluid medium. There is no detectable over-oxidation of the product to acid and no me...
