Significance

Palladium nanoparticles supported on covalent triazine frameworks (CTF) were used for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. Thus, the CTF was prepared from 1,4-dicyanobenzene with ZnCl2 at 400-600 ˚C. Palladium nanoparticles were attached to the CTF under acidic conditions to afford the Pd/CTF. The aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol with 0.02 mol% palladium of Pd/CTF and oxygen gave benzaldehyde in 66% yield with complete consumption of benzyl alcohol. The catalyst was reused nine times without loss of catalytic activity.
