Allylic Oxidation of Cyclohexene with Molecular Oxygen Using Cobalt Resinate as Catalyst
Allylic oxidation of cychohexene under atmospheric pressure of molecular oxygen was carried out over cobalt resinate in the absence of solvent. It was shown that cobalt resinate exhibited promising catalytic activity for the oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexen-1-ol and 2-cychohexen-1-one under mild condition for the first time.
