Coupled processes in carbon monoxide oxidation: Kinetics and mechanism of CO oxidation by oxygen in PdX<Subscript>2</Subscript>-organic solvent-water systems

PdX₂-organic solvent-water solutions, where X = halide (preferably bromide or iodide) and the organic solvent is 1,4-dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, are suggested as catalytic systems for CO oxidation. A number of coupled processes take place in these systems. The kinetics and mechanism of CO oxidation by oxygen in the PdI₂-LiI-1,4-dioxane-water system are reported. Cyclohexene hydrocarboxylation into cyclohexanecarboxylic acid can be carried out as part of the coupled process occurring in the PdBr₂-tetrahydrofuran-water system.
