Abstract

The oxidation of cyclohexene to cyclohexanone with alcoholic palladium(II) salts has been investigated. The best result in the catalyst system studied was obtained with the PdCl 2-CuCl 2·2H 2O couple. However, further oxidations of cyclohexanone significantly occurred, i.e., cyclohexanone was oxidatively dehydrogenated to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, which then afforded 3-ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one by an oxipalladation mechanism, resulting in a decrease in the cyclohexanone selectivity.
