•The use of polyoxometalate nano capsule, HxPMo12O40 ⊂ H4Mo72Fe30(CH3COO)15O254 as catalyst•Green catalytic oxidation by hydrogen peroxide•Oxidation of alcohols by HxPMo12O40 ⊂ H4Mo72Fe30(CH3COO)15O254•Using water as solvent in the oxidation of alcohols•Efficient and easy recyclability of HxPMo12O40 ⊂ H4Mo72Fe30(CH3COO)15O254 catalyst
In this work a water soluble polyoxometalate nano capsule, HxPMo12O40 ⊂ H4Mo72Fe30(CH3COO)15O254, with high stability was evaluated for the oxidation of various alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones by hydrogen peroxide. This environmentally and economically valuable catalyst allowed for using water as solvent and has not required any organic solvents. In the presence of very low amounts of catalyst high to excellent yields and selectivity were obtained.
