Abstract: The oxidation of cyclohexene with 30% hydrogen peroxide was catalyzed by trivacant Keggin-type polyoxometalates tetra-butylammonium salts [A-α-PW9O34]9- and [(FeШ(OH2)2)3(A-α-PW9O34)2]9-. The effects of reaction conditions such as molar ratio of cyclohexene to H2O2 , reaction time and catalyst amount on the catalyst activity were investigated. The catalyst [(C4H9)4N]9[A-α-PW9O34] showed a high selectivity (≥ 99 % ) for cyclohexene oxide with the cyclohexene conversion of 55 %. The catalyst [(C4H9)4N]9[(FeШ(OH2)2)3(A-α-PW9O34)2] showed a cyclohexene conversion of 17 % and a 2-cyclohexene-1-one selectivity of 99 % .

Key words: cyclohexene, oxidation, trivacant Keggin-type Polyoxometalate, reaction-controlled phase transfer
