Abstract

Unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives were oxidized with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in two-phase systems in the presence of homogeneous catalysts Q3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}, where Q is [Bu n4 ]3 +, [C5H5N(n-C16H33)]3 + or [Me(n-C8H17)3N]3 +. The reactions occurred under mild conditions (T < 100 °C, atmospheric pressure), without organic solvents, and exhibited high conversion and selectivity.
