A. Castillo et al., Catalytic oxidation of 1-hexene with molecular oxygen by the Cu(CH3CN)(2)(NO2)(2)/Pd(CH3CN)(2)Cl-2 bimetallic system, BOL SOC CH, 46(1), 2001, pp. 3-8
This work describes the study of the oxidation reaction of l-hexene to oxyg
enated compounds homogeneous catalyzed by the bimetallic system, Cu(CH3CN)(
2)(NO2)(2)I Pd(CH3CN)(2)CI2 dissolved in acetonitrile/chloroform under oxyg
en pressure (1-20 atm) at 55-100 degreesC. The results show that 2-hexanone
and 3-hexanone are the only oxygenated products formed at 55 degreesC. Oth
er oxygenated products such as 2-methyl-3-propyl-oxyrane, 2,3-diethyl-oxyra
ne and butyl-oxyrane were also observed, beside of the above mentioned at t
emperatures higher than 55 degreesC.
