A process for the oxidation of an organic carbonyl compound comprising reacting the compound, optionally in the presence of a solvent, with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst comprising a tin-containing zeolitic material and at least one potassium salt.

The present invention relates to novel tertiary alcohol derivatives substituted with aryl and trifluoromethyl, and optical isomers thereof. In addition, the present invention also relates to methods for the preparation and use as enantiomer recognition agent thereof. The present invention provides pharmaceutical composition and use as therapeutically active substance thereof.

Provided herein are methods for producing ketone(s) from the condensation of methyl ketone(s) and alcohol(s) in the presence of an amine catalyst and a metal catalyst. Such amine catalysts may be supported, for example, on a silica-alumina support. Such ketones may be suitable for use in producing fuels, gasoline additives, and/or lubricants, or precursors thereof. The methyl ketone(s) and/or alcohol(s) may be obtained from renewable sources, such as by fermentation of biomass.
