The facilities provided by the Kimmel Center for Archaeological Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, and the Institute of Archaeology, University College, London, England, served as heavenly places in which to gather data and write the libraries and librarians of both these institutions provided unlimited help and inexhaustible sources of information.

Hydrogen peroxide is an inexpensive oxidant, but it requires a catalyst to effect oxidation of an alcohol to the ketone. Removal of the catalyst then becomes an issue. Ronny Neumann of the Weizmann Institute of Science reports (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004,126, 884) the development of a hybrid organic-tungsten polyoxometalate complex that is not soluble in organic solvents, but that nonetheless catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of alcohols to ketones. The solid catalyst is removed by filtration after the completion of the reaction. The catalyst retained its activity after five recyles.
