Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example I was repeated, but this time cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate (0.003 moles), sodium bromide (0.005 moles), ethylbenzene (0.027 moles) and hydrogen peroxide (35%, 0.22 moles) were used. The final reaction mixture, analysed by HPLC, revealed that 97.0% of the ethylbenzene had been consumed, yielding products including acetophenone (91.1% yield).
