Selective oxidation of olefin derivatives to ketones has made innovative development over palladium(0) supported on reduced graphene oxide. Compared to traditional Wacker oxidation, the novel method offers an economical and environment-friendly option by using graphene oxide (GO) as a ‘solid weak acid’ instead of classical homogeneous catalysts like H₂SO₄ and CF₃COOH. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy images of Pd⁰/RGO showed that the nanoscaled Pd particles generated at the flake structure of reduced graphene oxide. Under optimized condition, up to 44 kinds of ketones with different structures can be prepared with excellent yields.

烯烃衍生物选择性氧化为酮的方法已在还原性氧化石墨烯上负载的钯（0）上取得了创新性的发展。与传统的Wacker氧化相比，该新方法通过使用氧化石墨烯（GO）作为“固体弱酸”，而不是像H ₂ SO ₄和CF ₃ COOH这样的经典均相催化剂，提供了一种经济且环保的选择。Pd ⁰ / RGO的X射线衍射，X射线光电子能谱，扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜图像表明，在还原的氧化石墨烯的薄片结构上产生了纳米级的Pd颗粒。在最佳条件下，最多可以制备44种结构不同的酮，并具有优异的收率。
