Route of autooxidation of organic compounds through a metal ion and bromide catalysis

Journal Article · · Pet. Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

Liquid-phase oxidation of organic compounds is normally an autocatalytic process and proceeds by a branched-chain mechanism through intermediate formation of peroxides. Decomposition of peroxides into free radicals ensures branching of the chain and consequently autoacceleration of the reaction. This is a study of such an oxidation using a cobalt-bromide catalysts. The reaction and its kinetics are thoroughly investigated, and a mechanism is reported.
