Selective transformation of isoeugenol to licarin a using HKUST-1 catalyst

The HKUST-1 was synthesized through a straightforward methodology, and its structure was confirmed by various characterization employing a range of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and N2 adsorption/desorption.
