MIL-101 metal–organic framework: A highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for oxidative cleavage of alkenes with H2O2

In the present work, a new and efficient method for direct oxidation of alkenes to carboxylic acids with H2O2 catalyzed by metal–organic framework MIL-101 is reported. In this transformation, the MIL-101 catalyzes the oxidation reactions by framework nodes and acts as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. The structure of MIL-101 was stable after three catalytic cycles.
