Abstract

This article reviews recent results on homogeneous aerobic oxidation explored after 1980. The review is ordered in five sections corresponding to the substrates as follows : (i) oxidation of alkenes comprising of epoxidation, carbonylation, cycloaddition of dioxygen, and allylic oxygenation, (ii) oxidation of arenes including oxygenation of aromatic nucleus and oxidative cleavage of catechols, (iii) oxidation of ketones, nitriles, and nitro compounds, (iv) oxygenation of alkanes, and (v) oxidation of alcohols, amines, and divalent sulfur compounds.
