Catalyse par le palladium at la lumiere ultra-violette de l'oxydation d'alcenes par l'oxygene moleculaire

The light-promoted oxidation of terminal alkenes by oxygen in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium(II) complexes led to corresponding α,β-ethylenic carbonyl compounds and methyl ketones; rapid and extensive isomerisation of the starting alkene is observed.The effect of acetone as solvent on the efficiency of these oxidations is discussed.
