Polyferroorganosiloxanes as catalysts of oxidation processes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01430666

Polyferroorganosiloxanes were studied as catalysts for homogeneous oxidation of alkanes by hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions. In the oxidation of cyclohexane the catalysts are characterized by high efficiency (conversion of hydrogen peroxide is 25%) and stability (up to 80 cycles per g-at. Fe). The main product of the oxidation in the presence of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol is cyclohexanol (up to 35% per H₂O₂).
