EVALUATION OF LIGAND MODIFIED PALLADIUM CATALYSTS IN THE WACKER OXIDATION OF ALKENES
The industrial application of Wacker oxidation of terminal olefins in aqueous aerobic mixtures with PdCl2 and CuCl/CuCl2 has largely been limited to shorter chain alkenes, that is, ethylene. As the alkene chain length increases, so do the challenges that render the reaction inapplicable for large sc...
