Abstract

Cobalt vanadium oxide supported on reduced graphene oxide showed excellent performance in the oxidation of styrene derivatives to the corresponding aldehydes with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. An electron-donating group at the para-position of the aromatic ring facilitates the formation of the corresponding aldehyde. Compared with conventional methods, the newly designed heterogeneous catalytic system offers a promising prospect because of its economic applicability and environmental friendliness.
