Abstract

The oxidation of cyclohexene catalysed by low oxidation state phosphine-transition metal complexes has been studied at 65° and 1 atm of oxygen. The process is a radical reaction but no marked oxygen activation promoted by coordination on the transition metal is usually involved, and the effective action of transition metal complexes is related to their interaction with performed cyclohexene hydroperoxide to form radicals. Only in few cases is oxygen activation probably involved.
