Abstract

Carbonyl groups are key moieties for the construction of carbon skeletons and synthetic intermediates.[1] Oxygenation of olefins is one of the most straightforward routes for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. The industrially important oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde, using a catalyst system consisting of palladium with copper, is commonly known as the Wacker oxidation process.[2–5] Since the discovery of this process, this Pd/ ...
