Baeyer-villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones using aqueous hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by potassium salts of tungstophosphoric acid

The salts of 12-tungstophosphoric acid catalysts are prepared with varying potassium content. The resulting catalysts are active for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones with 30 wt% H2O2 and achieve good conversions and yields. KHPW is the preferred catalyst in the reaction because of its reusability and environmental benefits.
