Oxidation of pinane using transition metal acetylacetonate complexes immobilised on modified activated carbon
The performance of a new solid catalyst is studied. Copper and cobalt acetylacetonate complexes are chemically anchored to functionalised activated carbon. These catalysts are active and highly selective to 2-pinane hydroperoxide in the oxidation of pinane at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
