Competitive Oxidation of 1-Propanol and 2-Propanol Catalyzed by Titanium Silicalite-1 and the Application for Selective Oxidation of 1-Methoxy-2-Propanol to 1-Methoxy-2-Propanone
Oxidation of 2-propanol with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by TS-1 was strongly retarded in the presence of an equimolar 1-propanol to a level of 1-propanol oxidation, and the competitive oxidation behavior was applied for the selective oxidation of 1-methoxy-2-propanol to afford 1-methoxy-2-propanone in a high yield of 85%.
