The effect of oxalic acid and glyoxal on the VO(acac)(2)-catalyzed cyclohexane oxidation with H2O2
A new protocol for the effective oxidation of cyclohexane in acetonitrile at 40 degrees C and atmospheric pressure into cyclohexanol cyclohexanone and cyclohexyl hydroperoxide using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant vanadyI(IV)-acetylacetonate as the catalyst oxalic acid and glyoxal as additives is presented with some reaction mechanism proposals (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
