Microwave-Assisted Oxidation of Alcohols Using Zinc Polyoxometalate

Abstract

In the presence of 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide and [WZn₃(H₂O)₂][ZnW₉O₃₄)₂]^12– polyoxometalate as a catalyst, primary and secondary alcohols were oxidized to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively, in short reaction times (ca. 15 min) under microwave-pressurized conditions.

Key words

oxidation - hydrogen peroxide - catalysis - alcohols - microwave irradiation
