Abstract

The catalytic activity of [bmim]5[PW11ZnO 39]·3H2O as a hybrid catalyst was studied in the oxidation of various alkenes in acetonitrile, using hydrogen peroxide as oxygen source. The effect of reaction parameters such as type of solvent and oxidant, amount of catalyst and oxidant, and temperature was also investigated. From our results, [bmim]5[PW11ZnO39]·3H 2O hybrid catalyst gave higher yields and selectivity in the oxidation of alkenes and was reused four times without loss of its catalytic activity. © 2013 Iranian Chemical Society.
