Abstract

Aliphatic carbenium ions, generated via anodic oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons in strongly acidic solutions, may be trapped efficiently with carbon monoxide, at atmospheric or elevated pressures, to yield carboxylic acids. Product distribution in the case of n‐pentane oxidation may be explained in terms of kinetic vs. thermodynamic control in the carbonylation step.
