A Polyoxotungstate Stabilized Copper Catalyst for Green and Efficient Transformation of Alcohols to Ketones

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A water‐soluble copper catalyst (NH4)8[Cu2(H2O)8W12O42] ⋅ 4H2O is prepared by the generated paratunngstate B in situ, which can catalyze the H2O2 oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone with a yield above 98 % in water under much milder conditions of 35 °C and atmospheric pressure, and the substrate can be extend to other secondary alcohols, potentially leading to an economical, green, and efficient ketone production method for industrial use.
