This invention is directed to a method of oxidation of 5-chloro-2-((3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-en-1-yl)thio)-1λ,3λ-thiazole and analogs thereof to the corresponding sulfone, using an oxidant and a metal oxide-based catalyst.

Process for the preparation of fluensulfone

This invention relates to electrocatalytic processes for the formation of formate esters using at least one catalyst or pre-catalyst; wherein the formate ester can be further hydrolyzed.

Electrochemical mono-hydroxylation of organic compounds

The invention relates to electrocatalytic processes for the formation of formate esters using at least one catalyst or pre-catalyst; wherein the formate ester can be further hydrolyzed.

The present invention relates to methods of removing heteroaromatic sulfides from hydrocarbons (e.g. petroleum products such as gasoline and fuel oils), using polyoxometalate catalysts such as HPVMoOor solvates thereof.

Removal of heteroaromatic sulfides from hydrocarbons using polyoxometalates catalysts

The invention provides a process for the catalytic epoxidation of an alkene comprising a transition metal substituted polyoxofluorometalate and molecular oxygen with the alkene. The invention also includes transition metal substituted polyoxofluorometalates of the formula Q &lsqb;NaH (TM)(H O)M F O &rsqb; and the molecular structure depicted in FIG. , where M is Mo, W, Nb, V or combinations thereof, TM is selected from Ti, V, Cr, Mn Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and the noble metals Ru, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os and Pt,, and Q is a countercation countering the charge q , and a process for preparing such polyoxofluorometalates.

Process for the epoxidation of alkenes and polyoxofluorometalates for use therein

The invention provides a process for the catalytic epoxidation of an alkene comprising contacting a transition metal substituted polyoxofluorometalate and molecular oxygen with said alkene.
