The hybrid polyoxometalate (POM) salt (Hptz)4[SiMo12O40]?nH2O (1) (ptz = 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole) has been prepared, characterized by X-ray crystallography, and examined as a catalyst for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene (Cy) and bio-derived olefins, namely dl-limonene (Lim; a naturally occurring monoterpene found in the rinds of citrus fruits), methyl oleate and methyl linoleate (fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) obtained by transesterification of vegetable oils). The crystal structure of 1 consists of α-Keggin-type heteropolyanions, [SiMo12O40]4-, surrounded by space-filling and charge-balancing 2-(tetrazol-5-yl)pyridinium (Hptz+) cations, as well as by a large number of water molecules of crystallization (n = 9). The water molecules mediate an extensive three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen-bonding network involving the inorganic anions and organic cations. For the epoxidation of the model substrate Cy in a nonaqueous system (tert-butylhydroperoxide as oxidant), the catalytic performance of 1 (100% epoxide yield at 24 h, 70 °C) was superior to that of the tetrabutylammonium salt (Bu4N)4[SiMo12O40] (2) (63% epoxide yield at 24 h), illustrating the role of the counterion Hptz+ in enhancing catalytic activity. The hybrid salt 1 was effective for the epoxidation of Lim (69%/85% conversion at 6 h/24 h) and the FAMEs (87–88%/100% conversion at 6 h/24 h), leading to useful bio-based products (epoxides, diepoxides and diol products).

Limonene oxidation over Cu-nanostructured mesoporous materials was studied. Three solids with different copper content were synthesized employing the template-ion exchange method, and physically-chemically analyzed by a multi-technical characterization. The performance of the molecular sieves as catalysts in the liquid phase oxyfunctionalization of limonene, employing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidants was evaluated. All synthesized Cu-MCM materials were active in the reaction. The obtained results showed that the used oxidant had an important influence on the products distribution under the employed conditions. With H2O2, compounds of high added value such as limonene oxide, carveol and carvone were mainly obtained. Meanwhile, with TBHP, limonene hydroperoxide turned out to be the major product. Finally, a reaction mechanism was proposed for each oxidant.

In order to produce versatile and potentially functional terpene-based compounds, a (R)-limonene-derived diol and its corresponding five-membered cyclic carbonate were prepared. The diol (cyclic carbonate) comprises four diastereomers based on the stereochemical configuration of the diol (and cyclic carbonate) moiety. By choosing the appropriate starting compounds (trans- and cis-limonene oxide) and conditions, the desired diastereomers were synthesised in moderate to high yields with, in most cases, high stereoselectivity. Comparison of the NMR data of the obtained diols and carbonates revealed that the four different diastereomers of each compound could be distinguished by reference to their characteristic signals.
