In aqueous medium, in the presence of dioxygen, metallic platinum is found to catalyse the oxidation of ethylene and propene to a mixture of ethane-1,2-diol and acetic acid, and propane-1,2-diol and acetone, respectively; only the 1,2-diol was formed, however, when carbon monoxide was added to the reaction mixture.
