Abstract
The oxidation of cumene was carried out using metal polyphthalocyanine as a catalyst. The catalyst activated an oxygen molecule to form a phthalocyanine-O2 complex, which abstracted the tertiary hydrogen of cumene to initiate the reaction. The catalyst had no activities on the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide, formed selectively in the oxidation of cumene. The influence of the addition of pyridine was discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
