Abstract
Oxidation of octene-1 to heptanoic acid with hydrogen peroxide was studied in a liquid two-phase system under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis. The catalyst was tetra(oxodiperoxotungsteno)phosphate of methyltri-n-octylammonium [MeOct n 3 N] 3 {PO 4 [WO(O 2 ) 2 ] 4 }. Conditions for the formation of heptanoic acid at the yield of 90 % were determined: temperature below 100 °C, atmospheric pressure, one stage and freeof organic solvents. The experimental data allow this method to be recommended for synthesis of monocarboxylic acids from α-alkenes to develop processes of green chemistry.
