;Romakh, Vladimir B; Shul'pin, Georgiy BIt was shown that, unlike methane oxidation with the reagent "hydrogen peroxide-vanadate anion-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (PCA)" in acetonitrile, the performance of the process in an aqueous solution is accompanied by the intense parallel degradation of the cocatalyst. Therefore, relatively high yields of methane oxidation products (largely, formic acid) cannot be attained unless a rather high PCA concentration is used. Admixtures of a strong acid (sulfuric, trifluoroacetic, or perchloric) increase the yield of the products. It was found that perchloric acid can also be used as a cocatalyst instead of PCA. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementRegioselective alkane oxygenation with H2O2 catalyzed by titanosilicalite TS-1(2006)
;Shul'pin, Georgiy B ;Sooknoi, Tawan ;Romakh, Vladimir B; Shul'pina, Lidia STitanosilicalite TS-1 catalyses oxidation of light (methane, ethane, propane and n-butane) and normal higher (hexane, heptane, octane and nonane) alkanes to give the corresponding isomeric alcohols and ketones. The oxidation of higher alkanes proceeds in many cases with a unique regioselectivity. Thus, in the reaction with n-heptane the CH2 groups in position 3 exhibited a reactivity 2.5 times higher than those of the other methylene groups. This selectivity can be enhanced if hexan-3-ol is added to the reaction mixture, the 3-CH2/2-CH2 ratio becoming 10. It is assumed that the unusual selectivity in the oxidation of n-heptane (and other higher alkanes) is due to steric hindrance in the catalyst cavity. As a result, the catalytically active species situated on the catalyst walls can only easily react with certain methylenes of the alkane, which is adsorbed in the cavity taking U-shape (hairpin) conformations.
