Sb. Kim et al., A NEW SYSTEM FOR ALKANE OXIDATION - MODIFICATION OF GIF-TYPE REACTIONS USING O-2 H-2 WITH A PD CATALYST/, Chemistry Letters, (7), 1995, pp. 535-536
We have investigated the modification of Gif-type reactions using hydr
ogen peroxide formed in situ by the palladium catalyzed combining of o
xygen and hydrogen. The oxidation of cyclohexane in the solvent mixtur
e, acetone-acetic acid, gives cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone with rath
er high yields, but any solvent containing pyridine is not suitable fo
r the modified system.
