✦ Synopsis

An Efficient Aerobic Oxidation of Isobutane to t-Butyl Alcohol by N-Hydroxyphthalimide Combined with Co(II) Species.

-Co(II) is found to be the best additive for the radical aerobic oxidation of isobutane. Alkyl-substituted butanes and pentanes are difficult to be oxidized selectively because of easy degradation to smaller fragments of the resulting radical intermediates. -(SAKAGUCHI, S.;
