ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of detergent range alcohols and ketones by reacting an alkane with a hydroperoxide in the presence of a transition metal acetylacetonate catalyst is described. Preferred hydroperoxides include cumene hydroperoxide and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide. The transition metal itself may be iron, ruthenium, chromium and mixtures thereof. If iron acetylacetonate is used as a catalyst, copper (II) acetate may be usefully employed as a co-catalyst.
