The molybdenum acetylide oxo-peroxo complex obtained in situ by the treatment of the corresponding molybdenum acetylide carbonyl complex, CpMo(CO)3(C{triple bond, long}CPh); Cp = η5-C5H5 with H2O2, has been used as an efficient catalyst for selective N-oxidation of primary amines to nitroso derivatives. Excellent amine conversion (up to 100%) and very high selectivity for nitroso compounds (99%) have been obtained using 30% hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The oxo peroxo Mo(VI) complex has also been found to be very active for the oxidation of various substituted primary aromatic amines with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring.
