Procedure

Oxidation of alkanes can give a variety of oxygenated products, including alcohols (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,918,238, 4,978,799, 5,235,111, 5,345,010, 5,354,857, 5,409,876, and 5,663,328), aldehydes (see, e.g., J. Catal., 202(2) (2001) 308; Appl. Catal., A 217(1-2) (2001) 111; U.S. Pat. No. 4,859,798), ketones (e.g., Appl. Catal., A 217(1-2) (2001) 111; EP 0126488; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,038,322, 5,235,111, and 5,409,876), carboxylic acids and anhydrides (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,543,532, 5,663,328, 6,646,158, 6,919,295, and 6,914,029). Oxidation of propylene may produce isopropanol, acetone, propionaldehyde, acrolein, acrylic acid, propionic acid, and the like, and mixtures thereof. Under appropriate reaction conditions, oxidation of propane may give isopropanol, acetone, or a mixture of them. Oxidation of n-butane may produce 1-butanol, 2-butanol, methyl ethyl ketone, n-butylaldehyde, n-butyric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
