C. Karunakaran et Pn. Palanisamy, MOLYBDENUM(VI) AND TUNGSTEN(VI) CATALYSIS OF PERBORATE OXIDATION OF ANILINE, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 70(12), 1996, pp. 1573-1578
Molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) catalyze perborate oxidation of anilin
e to azobenzene in aqueous acetic acid and tile catalyzed oxidations a
re zero, First and second order in the oxidant, catalysts and substrat
e, respectively. Tile reactive species of perborate is H2O2 and the me
chanism of catalysis is discussed.
