Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Olefins such as propylene are oxidized directly to .alpha..beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid with air or oxygen in an aqueous medium, employing an activated palladium-on-carbon catalyst in the, presence of certain surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfonate in combination with a co-surfactant such as n- or t-butyl alcohol. The catalyst pretreatment consists of reducing it with propylene at temperatures of at least about 60°C for at least about 10 minutes in the substantial absence of oxygen. In a like manner isobutylene may be oxidized to tethacrylic acid while butene-1 may be oxidized to crotonic acid.
