A heterogeneity test was performed by taking 0.02 mmol
of the catalyst plus 5.0 mmol of cyclohexanol with a 1:1
substrate/TBHP ratio at 60 °C in acetonitrile. Reaction for
3
0 min gave 27 % conversion. The catalyst was then fil-

tered from the reaction mixture and the filtrate left stirring
for another 1 h at 60 °C. The GC analysis indicated that the
conversion of cyclohexanol remained unchanged. The fil-
trate was tested for metal content by AAS. There was no
metal content in the filtrate, which indicated that there was
no leaching of the metal from the polymer support during
the catalytic reaction and the polymer-supported complex
was truly heterogeneous.

The recycling ability was tested by using 0.02 mmol
catalyst plus 5.0 mmol of the substrates at 60 °C with 1:1
substrate/TBHP in acetonitrile medium. After the reaction,
the catalyst was filtered off, washed with alcohol and dried
before use and recycled five times. The recycling ability of
the catalyst is shown in Table 8. The catalytic activity of
the supported complex toward oxidation of alcohols
remained almost constant on recycling. Analytical and
spectral studies of the recycled catalyst indicated that the
metal did not leach out from the support and the structure
of the polymer-supported complex remained unchanged
even after recycling five times.

without appreciable decrease in the activity. Hence, this
polymer-supported complex is a prospective heterogeneous
catalyst for the oxidation of various organic compounds.
