Synthesis, characterization and application of a nano-manganese-catalyst as an efficient solid catalyst for solvent free selective oxidation of ethylbenzene, cyclohexene, and benzylalcohol

- The Mn catalyst immobilized on functionalized nano-sized SiO2-Al2O3 has been used as catalyst.
- The catalyst was studied in the oxidation of ethylbenzene, cyclohexene, and benzyl alcohol without the need of any organic solvent.
- The Mn-nano-catalyst has a higher selectivity and conversion.
