A catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with cobalt porphyrin intercalated heterogeneous hybrid catalyst (CoTPP-Zn2Al-LDH) has been developed. The results showed that this catalytic system can effectively catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to thecorresponding carbonyl compounds. And the hybrid catalyst can be reused for five times with no appreciable reduction of activity.
