Abstract
Features of the liquid-phase oxidation of alkenes to ketones or aldehydes in the presence of palladium compounds (Wacker oxidation) are discussed in the review. It is shown that the appropriate reaction conditions, namely, the efficient composition of catalyst, oxidant and solvent, make it possible to selectively produce either ketones or aldehydes from terminal alkenes, and ketones from alkenes with the internal double bond.
