Abstract

Environmentally benign oxidation of alcohols and alkenes over transition metal substituted phosphomolybdates with molecular oxygen as an oxidant and TBHP as an initiator was carried out. The influence of different parameters on the conversion as well as the selectivity was investigated. All the catalysts showed good catalytic activity with excellent selectivity for the desired products as well as a higher TON. The system not only catalyzes the reaction but also avoids the use of organic solvents as it was carried out under solvent free conditions. Moreover, the catalysts could be recovered and reused four times without a significant loss in their activity and selectivity. A probable reaction mechanism was also proposed for the oxidation of alcohols and alkenes.
