The catalytic oxidation of alkenes is an important reactions in the chemical industry and the efficient route for the chemicals and pharmaceuticals synthesis.The process of oxidation is formed in reflux system using H2O2 and alkene in the presence of Phase Boundry Catayst (PBC).H2O2 and solid catalyst in this process are positive steps towards green chemistry. Herein is reported a highly efficient green process for the oxidation of 1-hexene using H2O2 oxidant and modified silver on the SiO2 support porous catalysts at 65°C. The method enjoys > 90% conversion. The catalysts are easily recovered by filtration and are reusable several times and H2O2 is cheap, environmentally clean and easy to handle, so these processes have great value nowadays.
