Abstract

Allylic oxidation of cycloolefins was carried out over Ag-VPO catalyst using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant in argon atmosphere, under our reaction conditions, attack of the activated C–H bonds was preferred instead of the epoxidation of C= C bond and corresponding α, β-enones were obtained as the main products. It is a high yielding, safe and eco-friendly method.
