Reaction Steps

The operating conditions are substantially those of example 29: 0.236 mole of 1-hexene (30 cc), 65 cc of anhydrous isopropanol, 2 millimoles of palladium chloride, 4 millimoles of Cu (ClO4)2 (HMPT)4 complex and 5 cc water are introduced into a heat-insulated reactor and stirred at 40° C at a pH of about 7. After 4 hours of reaction, 25 millimoles of oxygen is absorbed; 25 millimoles of 2-hexanone (selectivity: 41%) and 12 millimoles of 3-hexanone (selectivity: 20%) is formed; 60 millimoles of 1-hexene is consumed. Thus, not only the activity is low but it is found that a mixture of two ketones is formed, instead of only 2-hexanone as in example 29.
