Abstract
Tetraalkylammonium (TAA) salts of transition metal substituted dodecatungst ophosphate, (TAA)(5)PW11O39.H2O (where TAA = (C2H5}(4)N (TEA) (C3H7}(4)N (T PA), and (C4H9}(4)N (TBA), and M = Mn2+, Fe2+ and Co2+) catalyzed the oxida tion of styrene with H2O2 at 353 K. Except for the Mn2+ salt, other TAA sal ts were found to be active and gave mainly benzaldehyde and styrene oxide p roducts. Among the catalyst tested, TBA (tetrabutylanunonium) salt of Co2was more active in styrene oxidation. Kinetics of TBA-PW11CoO39 catalyzed o xidation of styrene have been investigated and mehanism for oxidation of st yrene has been proposed.
