Extremely Efficient Alkane Oxidation by a New Catalytic Reagent H2O2/Os3(CO)12/Pyridine

Triosmium dodecacarbonyl catalyzes a very efficient oxidation of alkanes by H2O2 in MeCN to afford alkyl hydroperoxides (primary products) as well as alcohols and ketones (aldehydes) at 60 °C if pyridine is added in a low concentration. Turnover numbers attain 60 000, and turnover frequencies are up...
