12-Tungstophosphate Acids: An Efficient, Green and Recyclable Photocatalyst in Carbon-Carbon Double Bond Isomerization on Linear Alpha Olefins

Abstract

The accelerated UV visible photocatalytic carbon-carbon double bond isomerization of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) with 12-Tungstophosphate Acids (12-TPA) as an efficient, environmentally-friendly and recyclable catalyst was described, which produced the corresponding Linear Internal Olefins (LIO) in general high selectivity and high yields.
