In the present work, the ability of two ruthenium hydride catalysts supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes, [Ru–H@EDT–MWCNT], and gold nanoparticles cored triazine dendrimer, [Ru–H@AuNPs–TD], in the direct conversion of alcohols to carboxylic acids via transfer hydrogenation using styrene oxide as oxidant is reported. Different alcohols were successfully converted to their corresponding carboxylic acids. The results showed that these two heterogeneous catalysts are more efficient than the homogeneous counterpart. In addition, the catalysts were reused several times.
