E. Monflier et al., A VERY USEFUL AND EFFICIENT WACKER OXIDATION OF HIGHER ALPHA-OLEFINS IN THE PRESENCE OF PER(2,6-DI-O-METHYL)-BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN, Tetrahedron letters, 36(3), 1995, pp. 387-388
Oxidation of higher alpha-olefins (C-8-C-16) in a two phase system wit
h a multicomponent catalytic system, ie. PdSO4 / H9PV6Mo6O40 / CuSO4 a
nd per(2,6-di-o-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin gives the corresponding 2-ke
tones in high yields (> 90 %).
