What is a safer rout of cyclohexonal in green chemistry

 Q....what is the safer rout of cyclohexanol in green chemistry 

Ans...............A Cyclohexanol is an important intermediate for the fabrication of synthetic polymers such as Nylon in chemical industry. A green synthesis of cyclohexanone under mild conditions using environmental friendly oxidants and non-precious catalysts is highly desired. Herein, one-dimensional crystalline h-WO3 nanorods have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The h-WO3 nanorods are assembled by the closely packed and highly aligned thin nanowires with the lengths up to 10 μm and diameters of about 10 nm, growing along the [001] direction. The h-WO3 nanorods are used as the catalyst for the first time in the selective oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone by aqueous hydrogen peroxide. The effective catalysis by h-WO3 nanorods remarkably increases the yield of cyclohexanone from 3.1 to 78.6 %, under the mild conditions (80 °C, ambient pressure). With a high recyclability, the h-WO3 nanorods have shown great potentials in green chemistry for the synthesis of cyclohexanone by the catalytic oxidation of cylohexanol.
