Abstract

[Matrix presented] Polyfluorinated quaternary ammonium cations, [CF 3(CF2)7(CH2)3] 3CH3N+ (RFN+), were synthesized and used as countercations for the [WZnM2(H 2O)2(ZnW9O34)2] 12- (M = Mn(II), Zn(II)) polyoxometalate. The (RFN +)12[WZnM2(H20)2 (ZnW9O34)2] compounds were fluorous biphasic catalysts for alcohol and alkenol oxidation, and alkene epoxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Reaction protocols with or without a fluorous solvent were tested. The catalytic activity and selectivity was affected by both the hydrophobicity of the solvent and the substrate.
