摘要:
A mixture of the alcohol and ketone derivatives of alkanes is produced by reacting the alkane with a hydrocarbyl hydroperoxide, eg t-butyl hydroperoxide, at ambient or elevated temperature and pressure in the presence as catalyst of an iron or manganese square planar complex having heterocyclic nitrogen-donor ligands, eg a porphyrin or phthalocyanine complex, which complex has either no axial ligands, eg the lower valency or cationic complex, or an axial ligand which is non-coordinating or weakly-coordinating.
摘要:
A process for the oxidation of alkanes or alkenes is described. The process uses a hydrocarbyl hydroperoxide as an oxidising agent in combination with a ruthenium catalyst and optionally a hydrogen bromide or hydrobromic acid promoter. The products of the oxidation are alcohols, ketones or a mixture of both.

摘要:
Hydrocarbon fuels, for example straight run gasoline and cat-cracked spirit, are up-graded by reacting the fuel with a hydrocarbyl hydroperoxide at a temperature greater than the decomposition temperature of the hydroperoxide and at a pressure sufficient to maintain the reactants in the liquid phase. The reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of a metal catalyst for the decomposition of the hydroperoxide and optionally in the presence of a solid not generally regarded as a hydroperoxide decomposition catalyst, e.g. alumina, silica or silica-alumina.
