The mildly acidic and oxidative nature of graphene oxide, with its large surface area available for catalytic activity, has been explored in aromatic nuclear bromination chemistry for the first time. The versatile catalytic activity of graphene oxide (GO) has been used to selectively and rapidly brominate anilines and phenols in water. The best results were obtained at ambient temperatures using molecular bromine in a protocol promoted by oxidative bromination catalyzed by GO; these transformations proceeded with 100% atom economy with respect to bromine and high selectivities for the tribromoanilines and -phenols. Reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) was observed to form after the second recycle (third use) of GO. This technique is also effective with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the brominating reagent. In the case of NBS, reactions were instantaneous and the GO displayed excellent recyclability without any loss of activity over several cycles.

Efficient aerobic oxidation has been developed for the selective preparation of a sequence of valuable p-hydroxybenzaldehydes from corresponding p-cresols, using a new magnetically separable catalyst of nano-structured cobalt-cobalt oxide/nitrogen-doped carbon (CoOx@CN) material. CoOx@CN showed high activity for the 2-methoxy-4-cresol oxidation to vanillin, giving great yield (90%) and with good turnover number (210), as well as other p-cresols in good to great yields. The catalytic performance was investigated and related to the structural, chemical and magnetic properties which determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The effects of base to substrate molar ratio, catalyst concentration, temperature, and solvent on the conversion and selectivity patterns also have been studied. The investigation revealed that remarkable catalytic properties of CoOx@CN could be ascribed to the active species cobalt oxide, doped nitrogen and porous carbon with large surface area. The size of the catalyst is a key factor for catalyst performance. The ferromagnetic property of catalyst enables to recycle easily by an external magnetic field and reuse six successive times without significant activity loss.
