Metal-Free Oxidation of Glycerol over Nitrogen-Containing Carbon Nanotubes [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Nitrogen rich carbon nanotubes have been used as a metal free catalyst for the conversion of glycerol into dihydroxyacetone using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. Pyridine nitrogen groups embedded in a carbon matrix are identified as active sites for the reaction. Computational studies have demonstrated that oxidation of pyridine groups to pyridine oxime followed by hydrogen abstraction from secondary alcohol is likely responsible for the oxidation process. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
