Abstract

Highly selective aerobic hydroxylation of tertiary carbon centers in alkanes is catalyzed by the title polyoxometalate under mild reaction conditions [Eq. (a)]. This is of great significance, in particular in the search for ways to activate molecular oxygen in the oxidation of hydrocarbons. (Figure Presented.)
