Selective Oxidation of Alkylbenzenes to Aryl Ketones with Polymer-Supported Molybdenum Catalyst

摘要

A new polymer-supported molybdenum-3,5-dimethyl pyrazole catalyst was synthesized and the structure was characterized by FY-IR and SEM. The resulting catalyst presented high activity for selective oxidation of alkyl aromatics to benzylic ketones with tert-butyl hydroperoxide and could be reused at least five times without loss of activity.
