Abstract

The results of 60 years' research into the mechanisms of olefin oxidation catalyzed by palladium complexes (Wacker oxidation) are analyzed. The concepts of the mechanisms of related oxidative carboxylations (Moiseev reaction) and alkoxylations are discussed. This review considers the regularities of processes in aqueous organic solvents; the problems of regio- and stereoselectivity of reactions; and the role of co-catalysts, oxidants, and ligands, including asymmetric catalysis. The effect of transition from anionic (or neutral) to cationic palladium chloride complexes in water or aqueous organic media on the mechanism of olefin oxidation is discussed in detail.

摘要

分析了60年研究钯络合物催化的烯烃氧化机理（瓦克氧化）的结果。讨论了相关的氧化羧化（Moiseev反应）和烷氧基化机理的概念。这篇综述考虑了在水性有机溶剂中的处理规律；反应的区域和立体选择性问题；以及助催化剂，氧化剂和配体的作用，包括不对称催化作用。详细讨论了在水或水性有机介质中从阴离子（或中性）到阳离子氯化钯配合物的转变对烯烃氧化机理的影响。
