H2O2 oxidations with molybdate catalyst
What substrates can this combination cleanly oxidise? Will it oxidise isopropanol to acetone? And cinnamaldehyde to cinnamic acid? Can it cleanly
oxidise acetaldehyde yo acetic acid?

Ummm. Touchy subject.
Generally speaking, oxidations can be hard to control. If the agent has any real mojo at all, it might oxidize Cinnamaldehyde to benzoic acid. This
reputedly can be a problem when oxidizing Cinnamaldehyde with perborate in glacial acidic acid. Oxidation of the C=C double bond may occur, followed
by decarboxylation.
