Hydration of alkenes and cycloalkenes in the presence of chromium and copper complexes

Chromium and copper complexes catalyzed hydration of acyclic and cyclic olefins in the presence of carbon tetrachloride at 110-160 C (4-12 h) with formation of the corresponding alcohols.

Kinetic study of the addition reaction of carbon tetrachloride to 1-hexene initiated by chromium hexacarbonyl in the presence of UV light

Addition reaction of CCl4 to the double bond of olefin (particularly 1-hexene) in the presence of Cr(CO)6 and light has been investigated. The reaction follows, mainly, a free radical chain route in which the metal complex acts solely as an initiator. The observed orders of reaction clearly demonstrate that the reaction proceeds by a free radical chain route. The effect of UV light has been studied and found to be responsible for the initiation of the free radical chain process and for the preparation of photocatalytic species, which are photolabile and responsible for the formation of a small amount of the addition reaction product during the dark periods. Cr(CO)6 shows initiation efficiency comparable with organic peroxides, but other complexes, Mo(CO)6, W(CO)6, are less efficient.
