Abstract
Abstract Cobalt(II) acetate (Co(OAc) 2 ) has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the carboxylation reaction of saturated hydrocarbons with CO to yield the corresponding carboxylic acids in high yields in the presence of K 2 S 2 O 8 and CF 3 COOH. About 89.5% conversion of propane is obtained in this reaction. The activation parameters of the reaction of propane have been determined by Arrhenius and Eyring plots.
