Wacker Oxidation

The Wacker oxidation is a Pd(II)-catalyzed reaction that converts an olefin, typically a terminal olefin, into a ketone. In the presence of a Pd(II) catalyst and an oxidant (usually oxygen or air), the Pd(II) undergoes a cycle of oxidative addition and reductive elimination to insert oxygen into the olefin. This leads to the formation of the ketone.
