Selective Catalytic Oxidation of Glycerol to Dihydroxyacetone
TL;DR: The chemoselective, catalytic transformation of glycerol into dihydroxyacetone is reported, which is an attractive and versatile feedstock as it is nontoxic, edible, and biodegradable, and it can be used as a building block for valueadded chemicals.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations support the conclusion that β-hydride elimination to give hydroxy ketones is product-determining for the oxidation of vicinal diols, whereas for primary and secondary alcohols, pre-equilibria favoring primary alkoxides are product-Determining.
Oxidatively Resistant Ligands for Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Alcohol Oxidation
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of Pd complexes derived from fluorinated phenanthrolines (bis-2,9-(trifluoromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (btfm-phen), 4-methyl-2-methyl 2-trifloromethlyl-1, 10-phenanthrin (tfmm-phen) and 2-(o-diffluorophenyl)- 1, 10 -phenanthusline (odfp-phen)) were prepared and tested.

Synthesis and Structural Diversity of Mono‐, Di‐ and Trinuclear Complexes with N,N′‐Bis[(2‐diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]formamidine
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis, characterization, and coordination chemistry of a series of mono-, di-, and trinuclear homo-/heterometallic complexes with the dinucleating ligand, N,N′-bis[(2-diphenyl-phosphanyl)phenyl]formamidine (pnnp)1 are reported.

Mechanistic Studies of the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Methanol Using a Cationic Palladium Complex
TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic oxidation of methanol in the presence of the cationic [neocuproinePd(OAc)]2[OTf]2 (OTf = trifluoromethylsulfonate), 1, yields methyl formate.
