Abstract

In the present work, a new and efficient method for direct oxidation of alkenes to carboxylic acids with H 2O 2 catalyzed by metal-organic framework MIL-101 is reported. In this transformation, the MIL-101 catalyzes the oxidation reactions by framework nodes and acts as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. The structure of MIL-101 was stable after three catalytic cycles. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
