Abstract:A possible reaction mechanism was proposed, and the kinetic relationships between rate of styrene conversion (or product generation) and condition parameters were established for the aerobic oxidation of styrene by using isobutyraldehyde as coreductant and cobalt(II) acetate as catalyst. The effects of aldehyde amount, catalyst amount, and volume ratio of solvent to styrene on the total yield of products (styrene oxide and benzaldehyde) were evaluated by the response surface methodology systematically. Relativ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
