Abstract
The selective oxidation of organic compounds to desired products has long been a challenge to chemists. The industrial oxidation of hydrocarbons to useful oxygenated compounds is commercially important and is carried out on a very large scale — on the order of several billons of pounds per year. The reactions are usually carried out at high temperatures(>150°C) and pressures,1 and often leave much to be desired in terms of selectivity. The difficultylies in the fact that the desired products are often themselves easily oxidizable, so that a certain percentage of the carbon is inevitably lost to CO and CO2, and other byproducts.
