Abstract
Copper-crown ether catalysed oxidation of alkanes with molecular oxyge n in the presence of acetaldehyde gives the corresponding ketones and alcohols highly efficiently. High turnover numbers have been obtained for the oxidations of cyclohexane using copper(II) chloride and 18-cro wn-6 as a catalyst.
