Conclusions
-
1.
The effectiveness of the catalytic action of a mixture of copper stearate and o-phenanthroline in the oxidation of ethylbenzene is determined by the ratio of the components of the catalyzing system.
-
2.
In the presence of phenanthroline complexes of copper, ethylbenzene is oxidized primarily to acetophenone. At a ratio of copper stearate and o-phenanthroline ensuring a maximum rate of the process, a new reaction pathway appears, according to which ~50% of the initial ethylbenzene is consumed.
