Heterogeneous gold nanoparticles as catalysts for aerobic oxidation provide a very elegant and eco‐friendly synthetic method in organic chemistry; it is a major research field in sustainable chemistry. In their Communication on page 319 ff. , Shū Kobayashi and co‐workers describe selective lactam syntheses through a tandem oxidative process (TOP) from simple amino alcohols by using carbon black stabilized polymer incarcerated gold or gold/cobalt nanoparticles with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant under mild conditions.
