Microwave-Assisted Oxidation of Alcohols Using Zinc Polyoxometalate

摘要

In the presence of 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide and [WZn3(H2O)(2)][ZnW9O34)(2)](12-) polyoxometalate as a catalyst, primary and secondary alcohols were oxidized to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively, in short reaction times (ca. 15 min) under microwave-pressurized conditions.
