Highly effective hydration of olefins using a wool-palladium complex as a catalyst

The hydration of styrene, 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one and 5‐hexen‐2‐one to α‐methylbenzyl alcohol, 3‐hydroxy‐cyclohexanone and 5‐hydroxy‐2‐hexanone was investigated using a wool‐supported palladium catalyst under mild conditions of temperature and pressure. The yields amounted to 82.0, 92.0 and 99.3% respect...

Description
Summary:The hydration of styrene, 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one and 5‐hexen‐2‐one to α‐methylbenzyl alcohol, 3‐hydroxy‐cyclohexanone and 5‐hydroxy‐2‐hexanone was investigated using a wool‐supported palladium catalyst under mild conditions of temperature and pressure. The yields amounted to 82.0, 92.0 and 99.3% respectively and were greatly affected by the palladium content in the complex, the ratio of substrate/catalyst, the reaction temperature and the kind of solvent. The catalyst was very stable and could be re‐used several times without any remarkable change in the catalytic activity. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
