CuO, CeO2 and several CuO-CeO2 catalysts are explored in the oxidative homocoupling of benzylamine. Supported CuO-CeO2 catalysts are shown to provide higher rates than CuO nanoparticles. A series of experiments probing reaction pathways suggested that ceria and copper domains promote the reaction primarily via two distinct pathways.
