Pillared clays, oxidation alkenes

Tertiary butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) is a popular oxidizing agent used with certain catalysts. Because of its size, TBHP is most effective with catalysts containing large pores however, it can also be used with small-pore catalysts. Using first-row transition metals, Cr and V, impregnated into pillared clays, TBHP converts alcohols to ketones, epoxidizes alkenes, and oxidizes allylic and benzylic positions to ketones.83-87...

The hydroamination of alkenes has been performed in the presence of heterogeneous acidic catalysts such as zeolites, amorphous aluminosilicates, phosphates, mesoporous oxides, pillared interlayered clays (PILCs), amorphous oxides, acid-treated sheet silicates or NafioN-H resins. They can be used either under batch conditions or in continuous operation at high temperature (above 200°C) under high pressure (above 100 bar). [Pg.94]
