  • (CuCl2, NaNO2, TEMPO) using molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant have also been used [12]. Nevertheless, neither of these conditions was successful when they were applied to methanol to generate formaldehyde, because overoxidation is an important side reaction in these cases [12][13][14][15]. However
