Ao. Kuzmin et al., Partial oxidation of light paraffins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of peroxocomplexes of copper(II) hydroxide, MENDELEEV C, (6), 1998, pp. 210-212
Methane, ethane and ethylene are oxidised by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous s
olutions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in the presence of pe
roxocomplexes of copper(II) hydroxide; the reaction presumably proceeds by
a non-radical mechanism.
