Significance

Palladium(II) on gold nanoparticles supported on CeO2 (Pd/Au/CeO2) was prepared according to equation 1. Pd/Au/CeO2 catalyzed the desaturation of ketones 1 under open-air conditions to give the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ­ketones 2 in up to >99% yield (eq. 2).

Comment

Pd/Au/CeO2 was characterized by XPS, XANES, XRD, HAADF-STEM, STEM-EDS and ICP-AES analyses. In the desaturation of cyclohexanone (1a) to cyclohex-2-en-1-one (2a), the catalyst showed a high turnover frequency (122 h–1 based on Pd). This catalysis offers a viable alternative to the ­Saegusa–Ito oxidation.
