The oxidation of benzyl alcohols has been studied in the presence of isobutyraldehyde as co-catalyst, molecular oxygen as oxidant and copper (II) meso-tetra phenyl porphyrin (CuTPP) as catalyst. The CuTPP catalyst exhibits good activity and high selectivity under mild conditions. The effects of temperature and solvents have also been investigated in this catalyst system.
