General description

Benzyl alcohol, an aromatic alcohol, is widely used in cosmetics and hair dyes.[1] It undergoes oxidation in the absence of solvent catalyzed by Pd catalysts supported on TiO2 functionalized with various amounts of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES).[2]

Application

Benzyl alcohol may be used in the preparation of benzoic acid, via oxidation.[3]

    For this sensitive RIA for 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, we used antibodies to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-3-hemisuccinate conjugated to bovine serum albumin, raised in rabbits. These antibodies show a high affinity for 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 but cross react with other vitamin D metabolites
