The glutamic acid salicylaldehyde Schiff base cobalt complex
catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of linear aliphatic olefins, such as
1-octene, 1-decene, and 1-dodecene, to afford the corresponding
1,2-epoxyalkanes. The selectivity of 1,2-epoxyalkane is from 50%
to 70%. It also catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene
with formation of 2-cyclohexen-l-of and 2-cyclohexen-l-one. The
mechanism of the oxidation is discussed. The complex is envi-
ronmentally attractive in the oxidation.
