Fe(NO3)3-Catalyzed Monoterpene Oxidation by Hydrogen Peroxide: An Inexpensive and Environmentally Benign Oxidative Process

Photo-epoxidation of (α, β)-pinene with molecular O2 catalyzed by a dioxo-molybdenum (VI)-based Metal–Organic Framework

“…For a better understanding, it is well recognized that one of the main factors that governs the reactivity of monoterpenes is the level of substitution of the olefinic double bonds, as well as the type of carbon skeleton and the accessibility of its vinyl and allylic hydrogens. In this case, the presence of an additional substituent on α-pinene increases the electrophilic oxygen addition rate to the double bond (higher electron density) compared to the disubstituted double bond of β-pinene [4,9,52,53] (See Fig. 4).…”

Synthetic utility of metal catalyzed hydrogen peroxide oxidation of C-H, C-C and C=C bonds in alkanes, arenes and alkenes: Recent advances

“…In these reactions, α-and β-pinene were preferentially oxidized to allylic ethers (i.e., myrtenol methyl ether). 188 For oxidation of cyclohexene with hydrogen peroxide the selectivity for α-hydroxylation is favoured and cyclohex-2-en-1-ol is produced when iron(II) and cobalt(II) phthalocyanines are catalysts. 189 It was demonstrated that mesoporous ZrO 2 -POMs composites based phosphotungstate and Tisubstituted phosphotungstates composites exhibited catalytic activity for the oxidation of cyclohexene with H 2 O 2 as oxidant resulting in mixtures of oxidation products mainly cyclohexen-3-one, cyclohexen-3-ol and cyclohexan-1,2-diol.…”

Iron (III) Silicotungstate: An Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for Converting Glycerol to Solketal

“…Iron (III) nitrate or phosphotungstates have been active catalysts in various acid-catalyzed reactions. , The low price, good affordability, and high Lewis acidity of iron (III) salts make these cations attractive to be used as a counter ion in the heteropoly acid salts. On the contrary, silicotungstate anion salts have been successfully used either in acidic or oxidation catalytic processes. − …”
