TLDR
In this article, a mechanistic pathway for the hydroxylation of paraffinic and aromatic C-H bonds is suggested, and a dual function is postulated for the solvent in relation to its effects on kinetics.
Abstract
The oxidation of n-hexane with hydrogen peroxide, catalyzed by TS-1 in various solvents, is reported. The initial rate of reaction decreases in the order: t-butanol > t-butanol/water > methanol ≈ acetonitrile ≈ water, whereas the reverse trend was observed for the adsorption of n-hexane in the catalyst. A dual function is postulated for the solvent in relation to its effects on kinetics. It assists the sorption/desorption of reagents/products in TS-1 (passive role) and participates in the catalytic cycle, through interactions with polar species involved in it (active role). A mechanistic pathway for the hydroxylation of paraffinic and aromatic C–H bonds is suggested.

Lewis acids as catalysts in oxidation reactions: from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems.

TL;DR: This review is focused on the use of solid Lewis acids to promote catalytic oxidations, and the core of the review is organized to show the evolution from the simplest strategy for heterogeneizing homogeneous catalysts, to the more elaborate ones in which the active sites are part of the solid structure.

Reactivity of Ti(IV) species hosted in TS-1 towards H2O2–H2O solutions investigated by ab initio cluster and periodic approaches combined with experimental XANES and EXAFS data: a review and new highlights

TL;DR: How the most-advanced experimental and theoretical physical chemistry tools must be used synergistically to understand the reactivity of Ti-silicalite-1 (TS-1) in an important number of low-temperature oxidation reactions with aqueous H( 2)O(2) as the oxidant is underline.

Photochemical and FT-IR probing of the active site of hydrogen peroxide in Ti silicalite sieve.

TL;DR: The TiOOH moiety was shown by in situ FT-IR monitoring to oxidize small olefins at room temperature in the dark (propylene) or under photoexcitation of the LMCT chromophore (ethylene), the first direct detection of the active oxidation site in H(2)O(2)-loaded Ti silicalite sieve.

Oxyfunctionalization of alkanes with hydrogen peroxide on titanium silicalite

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that titanium silicalite, a microporous crystalline Ti-silica, is able to activate secondary and tertiary carbon atoms in alkanes, so that they may be oxidized to alcohols and subsequently to ketones using aqueous H2O2.
