Investigation of the possibility of intermediate formation of allyl alcohol in the process of oxidative acetoxylation of propylene on a palladium-copper zeolite catalyst

Abstract

1. The formation of allyl acetate in reactions of oxidative acetoxylation of propylene by labeled acetic acid (AcA) and esterification of labeled acetic acid by allyl alcohol on a Pd, Cu-zeolite catalyst occur with complete conservation of the labeled oxygen of the original AcA in the reaction product. 2. A reaction scheme is proposed for the oxidative acetoxylation of propylene, providing for the formation of allyl alcohol as an intermediate compound, present in a chemisorbed state in the form of a complex with a Pd atom.
