Abstract

Methyl ketones are prepared in liquid phase by oxidizing terminal olefins of the formula R--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, where R is a hydrocarbon radical. The oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide or an organic hydroperoxide, and the catalyst is a palladium catalyst of the formula Pd AA', (L.sub.m) where PA1 A is fluoborate, acetate or trefrafluoroacetate PA1 A' is the same as A or is .pi.-allyl, PA1 m is 0 or 2, and PA1 L is a ligand selected from the amines, the phosphines, the arsines, the stibines and the amides.
