Autooxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen in ionic liquids as solvents

Abstract

The results of hydrocarbons autooxidation process carried out using several ionic liquids (IL) as solvents are demonstrated. Test studies to check the influence of ILs on this process showed that most ILs can accelerate the initiation rate of autooxidation. The results could be very useful for choosing an IL not only for autooxidation processes but also for catalytic oxidation systems.

Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones in ionic liquids using molecular oxygen in the presence of benzaldehyde

“…13 For this reason, additional experiments were performed. A variety of other ionic liquids (bmimNTf 2 , tmbaNTf 2 , bmpNTf 2 , bmimBF 4 , bmimOTf, bmimOSO 3 Oc, bmimOSO 3 Me, bmimCF 3 COO) and catalysts Fe 2 O 3 , CoCl 2 , MnCl 2 , CuCl 2 , NiCl 2 , Ni(acac) 2 in the oxidation of benzaldehyde were explored.…”
