Selective Oxidation of Olefins to Aldehydes/ Ketones/ Carboxylic Acids with an Efficient and Practical Polyoxometalate‐based Iron Catalyst. Issue 16 (8th July 2022) - Chang, Yalin
Abstract: Herein, we reported the efficient method for synthesis of aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids from olefins catalyzed by inorganic‐ligand Fe (III) catalyst, (NH4 )3 [FeMo6 O18 (OH)6 ]. This transformation features sustainable conditions and utilizes commercially available H2 O2 as the sole oxidant and CH3 CN/ AcOH as the solvent. The simple synthesized catalyst has high efficiency towards the reactions under mild conditions and can be recycled at least six times with keeping stable activity. At the same time, the controllable products in the reaction have the potential for industrial application. Abstract : Using (NH4 )3 [FeMo6 O18 (OH)6 ] as the catalyst, oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds under mild conditions. A series of aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are prepared in high yields.
