Abstract
AbstractSelective catalytic oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid is still challenging due to the potential formation of a large range of by‐products. ZrO2 supported AuPt catalysts are very efficient for this reaction under base‐free conditions, in aqueous phase. Different preparation methods were tested and the catalysts synthesized by co‐impregnation using NaBH4 as reductant gave the most promising results. We demonstrated that the presence of a pure AuPt alloy is critical for the selective formation of glucaric acid. We have shown that when ultrasonication was used during preparation, less by‐products were formed, increasing significantly final yield of glucaric acid, up to 71 %. The Au/Pt ratio affects the catalytic results and an optimal ratio around 1.1 was determined. Finally, the catalyst is stable up to 196 h in continuous reactor.
