Abstract
Organic transformations under suitable environment-friendly conditions have a great
impact on the Green Chemistry area. In this context, heteropoly compounds (HPCs) have received
considerable attention due to their ability to act as solid catalysts, with the advantage of
being used and reused for different organic transformations without appreciable loss of their
catalytic activity. In this review article, we report the recent results (2010-2022) obtained for the
selective oxidation of organic substrates using a clean oxidant, such as oxygen or aqueous hydrogen
peroxide, and HPCs as catalysts. Some of the investigated substrates correspond to the
families of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, and sulfides, among
others.
