Abstract
With aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, secondary alcohols could be efficiently oxidized to ketones in the presence of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium heteropolyphosphatotungstate ((n-C16H33N(CH3)3)3[PW4O16]) under solvent-free conditions. The oxidation of alcohol over 0.5 mol% (based on molar amount of hydrogen peroxide) catalyst occurred at 90 °C to give the corresponding ketones with above 92% yield and 97% selectivity. The catalyst could be reused without loss of selectivity.
