Oxidation of α‐pinene to verbenone using silica–titania co‐gel catalyst

Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

α‐pinene can be oxidised to verbenone with ca. 60% selectivity using a commercial silica–titania co‐gel catalyst with tert‐butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant. Using cyclohexene as a model reagent, it is suggested that the formation of verbenone is probably via the formation of a hydroperoxy intermediate.
