Abstract

A nanosized Ce–Sm/SiO₂ catalyst was found to show an outstanding performance in the oxidation of benzylamines into valuable dibenzylimine products with almost 100% selectivity with O₂ as the green oxidant under solvent-free conditions, which is attributed to the presence of abundant strong acidic sites, enhanced oxygen vacancy concentration, and superior BET surface area.
