Abstract

The sol-gel entrapment of TEMPO within a silica matrix yields an efficient and recyclable catalytic system for the selective oxidation of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside (MGP) in water with NaOCl as primary oxidant, thus opening the way to the heterogeneous catalysis of the conversion of sugars into valuable uronates.
