Abstract
Catalytic activities of chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) and rhodium(III) chloride for the oxidation of olefins have been studied. It has been found that the complex and RhCl3 can cause catalytically the oxidation of aliphatic olefins such as styrene, α-methylstyrene or β-methylstyrene to produce carbonyl compounds under oxygen atmosphere. A remarkable solvent effect was observed in the reaction.
