Abstract

The present chapter describes synthesis and characterization of supported lacunary phosphomolybdate as well as its use as heterogeneous catalyst for solvent-free oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Influence of the reaction parameters (molar ratio of substrate to H2O2, amount of the catalyst, reaction time, and reaction temperature) was studied. The catalyst was reused three times without any significant loss in the catalytic activity. Present catalyst gives single selective product, benzaldehyde, as well as high TON for the same, under mild reaction conditions.
