Catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols by molybdenum complexes derived from 4-acyl pyrazolone in presence and absence of an N-based additive: Conventional versus microwave assisted method

Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes with 4-acyl pyrazolone based ONO donor ligands and their catalytic activity for the oxidation of secondary alcohols using conventional as well as microwave assisted methods are reported.
