Abstract

The preparation and characterization (FT-IR, FT-Raman, 11B MAS NMR, diffuse reflectance, elemental analysis) of a novel boron peroxotungstate (BTBA) 4H [BW4O24](BTBA= benzyltributylammonium) is reported, along with its use in the homogeneous oxidation of cis- cyclooctene, geraniol, linalool and (−)-carveol with H2O2 as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. High catalytic activity was registered for all the substrates studied under ...
