Abstract
The oxidation of 1-hexene and cyclohexene by molecular oxygen catalyzed by the iridium complexes [Ir(CH3CN)(4)NO2](A)(2) (A=PF6 (1) or BF4 (2)) has be en studied in acetonitrile under P(O-2)=20 atm, T=120 degreesC, substrate/c atalyst=100, t=20 h. Both complexes are active for oxidizing 1-hexene to 1, 2-epoxyhexane, 1-hexen-3-one, 2-hexenal, 1-hexen-3-ol and 2-hexen-l-ol and also oxidize cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hexane a nd 2-cyclohexen-l-ol. Preliminary kinetic parameters are reported for compl ex (1). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
