Selective aerobic oxidation in supercritical carbon dioxide catalyzed by the H5PV2Mo10O40 polyoxometalate.
Selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols and of activated aromatic hydrocarbons occurs in supercritical CO2 as reaction medium using H5PV2Mo10O40 as a quasi-heterogeneous catalyst without further additives or co-solvents; efficient recycling is possible and no metal leaching is detectable in the product stream.
