Oxidation of α-Methylstyrene in the Presence of Transition Metal CompoundsThe kinetics of oxygen absorption by α-methylstyrene has been investigated under normal pressure at 60°C in the presence of Mo-, Mn-, Co-, Ir-, Rh and Pt-compounds. Under these conditions only compounds of Co and Mo accelerated the reaction considerably. From the results, which were obtained by addition of AIBN, CHP or PPMS and ionol respectively, it can be concluded that the main course of the oxidation is a radical chain mechanism. The effect of the metal complex does not result from an interaction with the polyperoxide. Furthermore there were indications that in the initial phase of the reaction a direct activation and transfer of oxygen might also take place.
