ABSTRACT:
Hydrocarbon olefins are oxidized to carbonyl compounds having the same number of carbon atoms by contacting the olefin with a Group VIII metal containing catalyst in the presence of ammonium nitrate which maintains the catalyst active for continuous conversion of the olefin to the carbonyl compound. Preferably, oxygen is also introduced to facilitate the oxidation and reduce the amount of ammonium nitrate consumed. In a specific embodiment, ethylene is oxidized to acetaldehyde by contacting an aqueous solution containing about 20 percent ammonium nitrate and catalytic amounts of palladium, present as a soluble salt or a complex, at a temperature of about 80.degree.C. and at a pressure from about 1 to about 100 atmospheres.
