| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for the oxidation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, whereby an unsaturated hydrocarbon, an oxygen-comprising oxidation agent, a catalytic palladium complex, comprising a ligand of formula (I) where R = a saturated halogenated alkyl group with 1 to 20 C atoms and optional adjuncts are brought together in a liquid phase based on (a1) 10 to 100 wt. % of a protic polar solvent and (a2) 0 to 90 wt. % of an aprotic polar solvent, whereby the sum of the components (a1) and (a2) is 100 wt. %, at a temperature in a range from 30 to 300 DEG C and a pressure in a range from 1 to 200 bar, such as to give a liquid phase containing hydrocarbons comprising oxygen. |
