Transition-metal nitro-nitrosyl redox couple: catalytic oxidation of olefins to ketones

  • 1. Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, NY

Description

A new nitroso-nitrosyl redox couple based on the readily prepared complex bis(acetonitrile)chloronitropalladium(II) is reported which catalytically air oxidizes olefines to ketones. Results of 18O labelling mechanistic studies are included, and spectroscopic evidence for an intermediate involved in oxygen-atom transfer by a nitro group is presented. The effects of olefin substituents were also investigated
