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' where PA0 A is fluoborate, acetate or trifluoroacetate, and PA0 A' is OOR.sub.1 and where R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbon radical.
