Reaction Steps
A mixture of 4 mmol of cyclohexene, 40 mmol of ethylbenzene, 0.4 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.2 mmol of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, 0.004 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate, 200 mg of Molecular Sieve 4A, and 2 ml of benzonitrile was stirred at 60° C. under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 12 hours. Gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture revealed that cyclohexene was converted, at a rate of 84%, into cyclohexene oxide (yield: 72%), cyclohexanone (yield: 4%), and cyclohexanol (yield: 2%).
