Novel melamine functionalized gum (gum@Melamine) is synthesized, and its catalytic performance is investigated in the oxidation of benzyl alcohols. The gum@Melamine was prepared through grafting of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane on gum followed by treatment with melamine. The synthesized gum@Melamine was used to achieve an effective and selective method for the oxidation of different alcohols. All substituted benzyl alcohols were oxidized in good yields under mild conditions at room temperature. This gum@Melamine has great stability and could be recycled five times without noteworthy loss of activity.
