The effect of various ligands on the GoAgg(II) oxidation of cyclododecane to cyclododecanone has been investigated. The addition of picolinic acid and a number of its congeners increases the rate of oxidation up to fiftyfold. On the other hand, the addition of pyridine-2-phosphonic acid stops oxidation completely.
