Abstract: This article investigates the synthesis and catalytic applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with a detailed focus on their role in alcohol oxidation to carbonyl compounds, especially in converting isopropanol to acetone. MOFs like [Cu₂(1,4-chdc)₂] offer high surface area, tunable pore structures, and reusability, making them ideal for various catalytic applications. This study explores the properties, synthesis, and catalytic mechanisms of MOFs, addressing challenges in conventional acetone production methods such as the cumene process. It highlights the use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, combined with titanium dioxide to enhance MOFs’ oxidative capacity, demonstrating improved efficiency in UV-catalyzed reactions. Experimental findings indicate that titanium dioxide-modified MOFs achieve optimal performance with high catalytic activity and stability, providing an eco-friendly and economically viable solution for acetone production. Key words: metal-organic frameworks, alcohol oxidation, catalysis, acetone production, hydrogen peroxide.
