Abstract

Polyvanadomolybdic acids catalyze the process of peracid oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. The selectivity with respect to 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone increases with increasing degree of replacement of vanadium atoms in the PVMA by molybdenum; this is related to increased stability of the intermediate peroxides of the heteropolyvanadates.
