The oxidation of terminal alkenes was smoothly catalyzed by a recyclable and environmentally friendly catalytic system: [(C₁₈H₃₇)₂N(CH₃)₂]₃[PW₄O₁₆]/H₂O₂/formic acid. This new catalytic system is not only capable of catalyzing oxidation of terminal alkenes with a phase-transfer character, but also under solvent-free conditions, avoiding the use of chlorinated solvents. Many different kinds of terminal alkenes could be converted to the corresponding 1,2-diols of high purity in high yields. The catalyst could be easily separated and reused after reaction. Both fresh and used [(C₁₈H₃₇)₂N(CH₃)₂]₃[PW₄O₁₆] catalyst was characterized by Raman and FTIR.
