Yq. Deng et al., Clean synthesis of adipic acid by direct oxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 over peroxytungstate-organic complex catalysts, GREEN CHEM, 1(6), 1999, pp. 275-276
Directly catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene to adipic acid with hydrogen pe
roxide over environmentally benign peroxytungstate-organic complex catalyst
s is performed with excellent yields and selectivities, without any organic
solvent and harmful phase-transer catalyst.
