Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of lower aliphatic alcohols (C1–C4) to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with oxygen in the presence of palladium(II) tetraaqua complex and aromatic nitriles (benzonitrile, phenylacetonitrile, and o-tolunitrile) in aqueous medium (c = 0.01 M) at 65°C under atmospheric pressure were studied. A probable reaction mechanism and kinetic equation were proposed. Aromatic nitriles were found to stabilize decomposition of low-valence palladium species, ensuring activation of molecular oxygen and subsequent oxidation of alcohols.
