Abstract

The oxidation of 2-ethylhexanal with oxygen in the liquid phase in the presence of transition metal soaps (containing Mn, Co, Fe, Cu, Ni and Cr) as catalysts has been studied at 313.2 K. Similarly as in the liquid phase, 2-ethylhexanoic acid (maximum yield 79.6% at 80.8% selectivity) was the main reaction product. As side — products 3-heptyl formate, 3-heptanol, 3-heptanone, and heptane were identified.
