A Keggin-type tungstocobaltate, [Co(2,2'- bipy)3]2H2[CoW12O40]•9.5H2O ([Co]CoW) and tetrabutylammonium salt of vanadium-substituted tungstophosphates [(n-C4H9)4N]4[PVW11O40], [(n-C4H9)4N]5[PV2W10O40] (PVW, PV2W) were used as catalyst for oxidation of cyclooctane with H2O2 as oxidant in acetonitrile. The activity of [(n-C4H9)4N4H[PCo(H2O)W11O39]•2H2O (PCoW) was also compared. The products of the reaction were cyclooctanone, cyclooctanol and cyclooctyl hydroperoxide. The experimental results showed that at H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio = 3 at 80°C, in 9 h the [Co]CoW yielded higher conversion and selectivity to cyclooctanone. The V-based catalysts are more active than the Co-based tungstophosphate. The PV2W gave rise to high selectivity to cyclooctyl hydroperoxide. Cyclooctane conversion was increased by increasing reaction time or H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio. In the presence of tungstocobaltate catalyst, 88% cyclooctane conversion and 82% selectivity of cyclooctanone were obtained after 12 h using H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio of 9. This catalyst is stable upon treatment with H2O2. Experiments with radical traps suggest the involvement of a free-radical mechanism
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
