Activation and Functionalisation of the C-H Bonds of Methane and Higher Alkanes by a Silica-supported Tantalum Hydride Complex

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39950000991

Silica-supported tantalum hydride activates at low temperature the C-H and the C-D bonds of cyclooctane and CD4, respectively, to form the corresponding cyclooctyl and perdeuteriomethyl-tantalum surface complexes; these complexes are transformed under molecular oxygen into the corresponding tantalum-alkoxy derivatives which with acetic acid give rise to the corresponding alkylacetates.
