title: WO3 nanoparticles on MCM-48 as a highly selective and versatile heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of olefins, sulfides, and cyclic ketones.
abstract: [reaction: see text] It is shown that nanosized WO(3) particles supported on MCM-48 work as a highly efficient and selective heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of olefins, sulfides, and cyclic ketones using hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid. The catalytic activity of the supported tungstate was dependent on the nature of the supporting materials and particle size. The catalyst system employs environmentally benign oxidants in halide-free solvents, and it does not require phase-transfer agents and pH control.
