This work presents the synthesis of iron oxide nanocatalysts supported on mesoporous Al-SBA-15 by using a continuous-flow setup. The magnetic nanomaterials were tested as catalysts in the oxidative disruption of isoeugenol by using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant, featuring high activities (63-88 % conversion) and good selectivities to vanillin (44-68 %). The catalytic systems exhibited good magnetic properties when synthesized under continuous-flow conditions at temperatures not exceeding 190 °C. The use of microwave irradiation significantly reduced times of reaction drastically but exerted negative effects on catalyst reusability.
