The fast absorption of molecular oxygen by a system including styrene oxide, copper(II) chloride, and α-naphthol (strong inhibitor of oxidation) was found and studied by the volumetric method. A low value of the activation energy of oxidation and a complicated concentration dependence of the reaction rate indicate that the oxidation proceeds via the formation of a ternary system, possibly, via a complex of three reactants. The thermolabile activity of the copper catalyst of oxidation was found for the oxidation of this system in a 85 vol.% ButOH + + 15 vol.% H2O solution.

氧化苯乙烯-氯化铜(II)-α-萘酚三元体系在酒精介质中的吸氧

通过体积法发现并研究了包含氧化苯乙烯、氯化铜 (II) 和 α-萘酚（强氧化抑制剂）的系统对分子氧的快速吸收。氧化活化能的低值和反应速率的复杂浓度依赖性表明氧化是通过三元体系的形成进行的，可能是通过三种反应物的复合物。对于在 85 vol.% ButOH + + 15 vol.% H2O 溶液中氧化该系统，发现了铜氧化催化剂的不耐热活性。
