Abstract

Ammonium tungstate was found to be a facile and efficient catalyst for selective oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Heterogeneous graphene oxide as acid effectively intensified the transformations and resulted in excellent yields. The use of water as solvent rendered the reactions promising both economically and environmentally.
