Catalytic oxidative cleavage of saturated and unsaturated cyclic compounds to form non-cyclic compounds comprises use of heterocyclic catalyst and acid cocatalyst

摘要

A process for the catalytic oxidative cleavage of saturated and unsaturated cyclic compounds into non-cyclic compounds comprises use of an acid compound as co-catalyst with simultaneous use of a catalyst in the presence of a radical starter whereby the catalyst is a heterocyclic compound. A process for the catalytic oxidative cleavage of saturated and unsaturated cyclic compounds of formula (I) into non-cyclic compounds comprises use of an acid compound as co-catalyst with simultaneous use of a catalyst in the presence of a radical starter whereby the catalyst is a compound of formula (II): A = CRa, CRaRb, N, NRa, O, S; N = 1-30; Ra, Rb = H, 1-20C aliphatic group, SO3H, NH2, OH, F, Cl, Br, I and/or NO2, aliphatic or aromatic alkoxy, carboxyl whereby Ra has different C-atoms are optionally bonded via an O atom (epoxide) or Ra and Rb together form a ketone group; R<1>, R<2> = H, 1-20C aliphatic or aromatic alkoxy, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl or hydrocarbon, SO3H, NH2, OH, F, Cl, Br, I and/or NO2 or R<1> and R<2> are optionally bonded via a covalent bond; Q<1>, Q<2> = C, CH or N; X,Z = C, S or CH2; Y = O or OH; k = 0-2; l = 0-2 whereby k and l are not simultaneously O; m = 1-100
