Highly active and selective Pd-Cu-TiO2 catalyst for the direct synthesis of benzyl acetate by gas phase acetoxylation of toluene
Extremely high benzyl acetate selectivity (ca. 94%) at a toluene conversion of ca. 60% was achieved over Pd-Cu-TiO2 catalyst for the first time by gas phase acetoxylation of toluene with good long-term stability.
