Oxidation of alkyl and aromatic compounds using ceric ions. The alkyl and aromatic compounds are in solution in a C5 to C15 alkane, preferably hexane or n-heptane or n-decane or cyclohexane, at a concentration preferably between 0.1 to 3.0 molar, such that the carbonyl compound obtained is at a concentration which is above its minimum solubility in the alkanes and below the maximum solubility of the aromatic or alkyl aromatic compound in the alkanes. The product obtained is purer, i.e. there are lesser by-products associated therewith, and chemical yields are substantially improved.
使用陶瓷离子氧化烷基和芳香族化合物。烷基和芳香族化合物在 C5 至 C15
烷烃(最好是己烷或
正庚烷或正
癸烷或
环己烷)中的溶液浓度最好在 0.1 至 3.0 摩尔之间,这样得到的羰基化合物的浓度高于其在
烷烃中的最小溶解度,低于芳香族化合物或烷基芳香族化合物在
烷烃中的最大溶解度。这样得到的产品更纯,即副产物更少,
化学收率大大提高。
