Process for manufacturing carbonyl compounds by oxidation with molecular oxygen of olefinic compounds in liquid phase in the presence of soluble bimetallic catalysts

摘要

Carbonyl compounds are manufactured by oxidation of olefines with molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalytic system comprising both a specific rhodium compound and a specific compound of a metal selected from iron, cobalt, nickel and copper. The reaction is conducted in a substantially anhydrous organic solvent selected from alcohols, polyols and glycol monoethers.
