Abstract

Certain nitrate salts have unusual, significant, and practical catalytic effects on the selective addition of the sulfite radical ion in the presence of oxygen to unsaturated bonds. Specific cations and anions have selective coinitiation catalytic effects with oxygen on the conversions of olefins into alkanesulfonates. The relative re-activities of homologous 1- alkenes, mixed 1-alkenes, internal n-alkenes, branched olefins, monocyclic olefins, ...
