Innovative direct synthesis of adipic acid by air oxidation of cyclohexane

Abstract

A single-step air oxidation of cyclohexane, based on a new lipophilic catalytic system, leads to the production of adipic acid with excellent results. The catalytic activity outperforms previous reported catalytic systems for this reaction, and provides an environmentally benign alternative to an important industrial reaction.
