Organic transformations under suitable environment-friendly conditions have a great impact on the
Green Chemistry area. In this context, heteropoly compounds (HPCs) have received considerable attention due
to their ability to act as solid catalysts, with the advantage of being used and reused for different organic transformations without appreciable loss of their catalytic activity. In this review article, we report the recent results
(2010-2022) obtained for the selective oxidation of organic substrates using a clean oxidant, such as oxygen or
aqueous hydrogen peroxide, and HPCs as catalysts. Some of the investigated substrates correspond to the families of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, and sulfides, among others.
