7.3.2 Oxidation Reactions
Currently, the GO with oxygen-containing functional groups is applied to efficiently
catalyze the oxidative reactions for value-added chemicals [33, 68]. Therefore, GO
can be considered as a green oxidant to oxidize substituted cis-stilbenes to their
corresponding diketones [69, 70]. On the other hand, a proton source is necessary
