The invention provides a process for the catalytic oxidation of an alkane, which comprises contacting the alkane with a source of oxygen in the presence of a catalyst comprising a compound of the formula (2) where R
1
and R
2
independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, a carboxyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, or an acyl group, or R
1
and R
2
may together form a double bond or an aromatic or non-aromatic ring; Y represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; X represents an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group; m denotes an integer of 0 to 4; and n denotes an integer of 1 to 3. Compounds in accordance with formula (2) possess good catalytic properties, such that when they are employed in a process in accordance with the present invention, they are capable of activating a source of oxygen and promoting the oxidation of an alkane at mild reaction temperatures.
本发明提供了一种烷基催化氧化的方法,包括将烷基与氧源接触在催化剂的存在下,所述催化剂包括式(2)的化合物,其中R1和R2独立地表示氢原子、卤素原子、烷基、芳基、环烷基、羟基、烷氧基、羧基、烷氧羰基或酰基,或者R1和R2可以共同形成双键或芳香或非芳香环;Y表示氧原子或硫原子;X表示氧原子或羟基;m表示0到4的整数;n表示1到3的整数。符合式(2)的化合物具有良好的催化性能,因此当它们在本发明的方法中应用时,它们能够在温和的反应温度下激活氧源并促进烷基的氧化。
