Calcined vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) prepared by an organic route is found to be an active and effective catalyst for the oxidation of various alkanes such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, n-hexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, cyclodecane and adamantane in acetonitrile solvent using the environmentally benign oxidant, hydrogen peroxide, where the oxidation mechanism is believed to involve a reversible V<sup>4+</sup>/V<sup>5+</sup> redox cycle.
