Abstract

Abstract The molybdate-catalyzed “dark” singlet oxygenation of hydrophobic compounds with hydrogen peroxide proceeds efficiently with low catalyst loadings (10–3 mol%) in chlorine-free w/o microemulsions. These micro-heterogeneous systems are composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-butanol/water/organic phase, the latter being either a” green” solvent such as ethyl acetate or a liquid substrate, such as α-terpinene or β- ...
