Vanadium phosphorus oxide as an efficient catalyst for hydrocarbon oxidations using hydrogen peroxide

Abstract

Calcined vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) prepared by an organic route is found to be an active and effective catalyst for the oxidation of various alkanes such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, n-hexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, cyclodecane and adamantane in acetonitrile solvent using the environmentally benign oxidant, hydrogen peroxide, where the oxidation mechanism is believed to involve a reversible V4+/V5+ redox cycle.
