PEROXIDE COMPLEXES OF PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM THEIR PRODUCTION AND THEIR USE AS SELECTIVE OXIDATION DEHYDROGENATION REAGENTS

摘要

Peroxide complexes have the general formula: in which [A] is an anion of a carboxylic or sulphonic acid containing from 2 to 20 carbon atoms in the molecule, M is palladium or platinum, R is an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkylaryl hydrocarbon radical containing from 3 to 20 carbon atoms and n is 1, 2 or 3. They are prepared by reaction of a salt MA2 with an organic hydroperoxide R-O-OH. They can be used to convert olefins to ketones and for the oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclic ketones.
