Abstract

Various alkanes can be oxidised by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile solution at 70°C if Ni(ClO4)2 (in the presence of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) or H2PtCl6 are used as catalysts; whereas the nickel-catalysed reaction seems to proceed via attack of hydroxyl radicals on an alkane, the oxidation in the presence of platinum occurs possibly with participation of oxo or peroxo derivatives of this metal.
