Abstract
The oxidation of alkylarenes by dioxygen in the presence of complexes of nickel and cobalt with macrocyclic ethers 18-crown-6 and 15-crown-5 was studied. The conditions for selective catalytic oxidation of ethy lbenzene to alpha-phenylethyl hydroperoxide were determined. The kinet ics of the accumulation of all oxidation products was studied. The ord er of the formation of the products at different stages of chain oxida tion was determined. The activity of the complexes at the elementary s tages of the chain oxidation of ethylbenzene is discussed.
