Cyclohexane oxidation catalyzed by titanium silicalite (TS-1): Overoxidation and comparison with other oxidation systems
- Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil)
At 1000{degrees}C cyclohexanone and cyclohexanone, obtained in the TS-1 catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexane, are further oxidized in uncatalyzed and TS-1 catalyzed reactions. Cyclohexanol is very selectively oxidized to cyclohexanone inside the porous system of TS-1 and unselectively oxidized to several oxidation products on the external surface. This unselective oxidation can be suppressed by the addition of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), which does not enter the molecular sieve pore system and which efficiently reduces uncatalyzed oxidation. Cyclohexanone oxidation is mostly uncatalyzed, forming pre-dominantly dicarboxylic acids, and is not influenced by BHT. The products of the TS-1 catalyzed cyclohexanone oxidation are partially retained in the porous system, thus explaining the deactivation of the catalyst. Comparison with other systems shows that the turnover frequency of the TS-1 catalyzed cyclohexane oxidation is very similar to that of the radical-chain process, thus suggesting that the rate-determining step of the TS-1 catalyzed reaction is also the homolytic cleavage of a C-H bond. 18 refs., 5 tabs.
