Palladium acetate as a catalyst in the oxidation of n-hexenes and a direct preparation of tri-hapto-hexenylpalladium complexes
Abstract
Palladium acetate reacts with hex-1-ene and hex-cis-2-ene to form trinuclear and dinuclear trihapto-hexenylpalladium complexes with acetato-bridges and it acts as a catalyst in oxidation reactions of the olefins, some of which are of a free redical type.
