Abstract: Gold nanoparticles supported on magnesium oxide were shown to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the liquid-phase oxidation of a wide range of alcohols using molecular oxygen as a sole oxidant in the absence of co-catalysts or additives. The Au/MgO material was prepared through the deposition–precipitation method and characterized by XRD, XPS, XAS, HRTEM, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption techniques. The formation of gold nanoparticles on the MgO surface under temperature programmed reduction was monitored by in situ UV–Vis–Mass spectroscopy. Various carbonylic monoterpenoids important for fragrance and pharmaceutical industries were obtained in good to excellent yields starting from biomass-based monoterpenic alcohols, such as isoborneol, perillyl alcohol, and carveol. The Au/MgO catalyst also performs a selective one-pot oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol in alkali-free methanol solutions in the absence of any additive to give methyl benzoate in a virtually quantitative yield.
