Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes alkanes at room temperature to produce the corresponding alkyl hydroperoxides in the presence of titanosilicalite1 NaOH and acetonitrile The reaction proceeds with low regio and bondselectivity and its mechanism apparently involves the formation of hydroxyl radicalsThe authors thank the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia FCT and its POCI 2010 programme FEDER funded grant BD/12811/03 for M V Kirillova the MRTNCT2003503864 AQUACHEM project and the Russian Basic Research Foundation grant 060332344а for support G B Shul’pin expresses his gratitude to the FCT and the Centro de Química Estrutural Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon Portugal and the Department of Chemistry King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang Bangkok Thailand for making it possible for him to stay at these Institutes as invited Professor and to perform a part of the present work The authors are indebted to Prof Oksana A Kholdeeva Boreskov Institute of Catalysis Novosibirsk Russia for valuable discussions and suggestions
