Abstract  Homogeneous liquid-phase oxidation of alkenes (allylbenzene, cis-cyclooctene, 4-chlorostyrene, styrene, 2-norbornene, 1-methyl cyclohexene, indene, lemonine, and 1-hexene) were catalyzed by using vanadium complex [VO(hyap)(acac)2] in existence of ­H2O2. The complex [VO(hyap)(acac)2] was formed as a crystal by the reaction of [VO(acac)2] and 2-hydroxyacetophenone (hyap) in the presence of methanol by refluxing the reaction mixture. Various analytical and spectroscopic techniques, namely FTIR, ESI–MS, UV–Vis, single-crystal XRD, and EPR, were used to analyze and optimize the structure of the complexes. Graphic abstract

oxyfunctionalization of the organic substrates [1–3]. Generally, ­H2O2 and TBHP are the environmentally genial, clean, and comparatively low priced, commercially available and good looking oxidizing agent [1–5]. The oxidation reaction performed by metal catalysts depends on the metal center as well as the nature of the ligands [6–9]. Nitrogen or oxygencarrying ligands of vanadium complexes have been widely used as representative compounds for imitating the catalytic properties of mono-oxygenases [9, 10]. Vanadium ion attributes different oxidation states, such as oxovanadium (IV) and (V) [11, 12], with the common coordination numbers of 6 (octahedral), 5 (square pyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal), and 4 (tetrahedral) [13–15]. Vanadium can perform liquidphase oxidation reactions of alkanes, alcohols, alkenes,

halides, aromatics through the heterogeneous or homogenous procedure [9, 14–26]. Thus, homogeneous liquid-phase oxidation reaction of C–H, C–C, and C=C bonds by applying vanadium complexes in the presence of peroxide is of basic significance in numerous field such as organic synthesis, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and industry [9, 16, 17, 20, 27, 28]. The fabrication of oxygen-containing products forming, oxidation of alkenes is very demanding for the industrial point as well as in practical organic synthesis. Epoxidation and oxidative cleavage are the key operations involved in the oxidation of alkenes [29–32]. The epoxidation products are very essential for industrial and synthetic purpose because most of the epoxide products are used in the synthesi
