We designed and developed a novel catalytic system based on CO2 as soft oxidant and promoter. CO2 is used  soft oxidant in oxidative dehyrogenation reaction of alkyl aromatics as it imparts  special properties to catalytic system such as tuned/increased selectivity of a product, high conversions, enhanced reaction rates, eliminate byproducts formation. Another constraint for such system is utilization of CO2 with O2 as oxidation promoter in oxidation of cyclic olefins and aromatic alcohols. The co-presence of CO2 augmented the conversions and depicted promotional effects.
