Titania-Catalyzed H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Thermal Oxidation of Styrenes to Aldehydes

We investigated the selective oxidation of styrenes to benzaldehydes by using a non-irradiated TiO<sub>2</sub>&#8722;H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> catalytic system. The oxidation promotes multi-step reactions from styrenes, including the cleavage of a C=C double...
