Cmd. Batista et al., OXIDATIONS OF BENZYL ALCOHOL BY HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF COMPLEXED PEROXONIOBIUM(V) SPECIES, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (3), 1997, pp. 92-93
The influence of ligands around peroxo niobium complexes and of the ra
tio of oxygen-source substrates towards the efficiency of the niobium(
v)-catalysed oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by hydrogen p
eroxide has been analysed: the use of ligands such as phenylphosphonic
acid and 2,2'-bipyridyl associated with peroxoniobate gave efficient
systems.
