Abstract

Selective transformation of olefins to ketones is one of the most important functional group transformations in organic synthesis. 1 Catalytic transformation processes driven by molecular oxygen (O 2 ) have attracted a great deal of attention; 2 however, most of the processes employ homogeneous catalysts which are rarely recyclable. Heterogeneous catalytic processes have also been proposed, 3 but they require relatively expensive oxidants such as H 2 O 2 . To the best of ...
