Abstract

In aqueous alkaline solutions copper phenanthroline complexes catalyze the oxidation of primary alcohols and cyclohexanol to carboxylic acids at 333–373 K and\(P_{O_2 } \)=0.2–0.4 MPa. Unlike in radical-chain and metal-complex oxidation, secondary and acyclic alcohols are not oxidized in these conditions.

Abstract

В водных щелочных растворах фенантролиновые комплексы меди катализируют окисление первичных спиртов и циклогексанола в карбоновые кислоты при температурах 333–313 К и давлении кислорода 0,2–0,4 МПа. Вторичные ациклические спирты не окисляются в этих условиях в отличие от радикальноцепного и металлокомплексного окисления.
