Cooper and Waters (13) first reported the oxidation of cyclohexane by cobalt(III) perchlorate in aqueous acetonitrile to give a mixture of cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, and adipic acid. A more detailed study of this oxidation (74), using cobalt(III) acetate in acetic acid at 80°C, both with and without oxygen, gives products, such as cyclohexylacetate, that can only be explained if there is a direct interaction of cobalt(III) with the C—H [Pg.182]

Lead(IV)277 and silver(III)301 trifluoroacetates in TFA also oxidize alkanes at room temperature to give alkyl trifluoroacetates [see also Section III.D.3 for reactions of alkanes with Pd(II) trifluoroacetate]. The stoichiometric oxidation of cyclohexane to a mixture of cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, and adipic acid by cobalt(III) perchlorate in aqueous acetonitrile has also been reported.240...

Dehydration of amides is often carried out in the presence of ammonia. Acetonitrile, adiponitrile, and 6-aminocaprolactam ° are formed from acetamide, adipic acid and E-aminocaprolactam over MgiPiO , phosphoric acid supported on silica, and MgHP04, respectively in high yields. o-Chloronitrile can be produced from o-chlorobenzoic acid or its amide over alumina around 623...
