Abstract

A novel cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI)-maltolate [MoO₂(Mal)₂] (1) is prepared as a stable molybdopterin model for the biomimetic catalysis of the oxidation of hypoxanthine in acetonitrile–water at room temperature. Compound 1 efficiently catalyzes the oxidation reaction of toluene, diphenylmethane, and styrene. Cyto- and oral-toxicity studies suggest its tremendous potential for application as a molybdenum supplement.
