- Metal-Free catalyst for visible-light-induced oxidation of unactivated alcohols using Air/Oxygen as an oxidant
-
9-Fluorenone acts as a metal-free and additive-free photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols under visible light. With this photocatalyst, a plethora of alcohols such as aliphatic, heteroaromatic, aromatic, and alicyclic compounds has been converted to the corresponding carbonyl compounds using air/oxygen as an oxidant. In addition to these, several steroids have been oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Detailed mechanistic studies have also been achieved to determine the role of the oxidant and the photocatalyst for this oxidation.

- Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones from alkynes and aldehydes over Hβ zeolite under solvent-free conditions
-
A facile Hβ zeolite-catalyzed strategy has been successfully developed for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones from alkynes and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. The reaction proceeds via tandem hydration/condensation of alkynes with aldehydes to afford a range of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls in good to excellent yields. This journal is.

- Oxidation of sec-Alcohols to the Corresponding Ketones by Corynebacterium equi
-
Corinebacterium equi IFO 3730 was found to oxidize a wide variety of sec-alcohols, including alkanols, substituted alkanols, alkenols and cyclic alcohols, in moderate to high yields.Among them, the sec-alcohols which have longer carbon chains were oxidized more smoothly than those with smaller numbers of carbon.Although both enantiomers of unsymmetrically disubstituted carbinols were oxidized, the S form of 2-dodecanol was converted to the corresponding ketone a little faster than the other enantiomer.
