Description
Summary:Rhodium(0) nanoparticle (NP)-impregnated polystyrene trimethyl ammonium chloride (PMe 3 NCl) resin (Rh@PMe 3 NCl) under basic conditions acts as a cross-dehydrogenative coupling-methylating (CDCM) agent for the selective oxidation of methanol and its in situ reaction with benzyl/alkyl alcohols allowing methyl group transfer for acetate ester synthesis in a tandem approach. The redox property of methanol which restricts the oxidation of benzyl/alkyl alcohols for product formation is critically investigated.
