(57) Abstract: An oxidation catalyst comprising a nitrogen compound and a transition metal immobilized on a nitrogen compound-supporting carrier obtained by chemically bonding a nitrogen compound to a hydroxyl group-containing carrier by forming a complex of the nitrogen compound and a transition metal. A method for oxidizing hydrocarbons, comprising oxidizing hydrocarbons with molecular oxygen in the presence of the catalyst. The oxidation catalyst of the present invention can be easily separated after use and can be reused. By using this oxidation catalyst, various hydrocarbons can be oxidized by molecular oxygen under mild conditions, and epoxides, alcohols, ketones, or carboxylic acids can be efficiently and economically produced. be able to. |
