Abstract

The reaction mechanisms and the selective products formed during the air oxidation of some important industrial paraffins and arenes catalysed homogeneously by transition metal complexes such as Cu(I), Co(II), and Mn(II) are discussed. In addition, the main uses of the major products generated from these catalytic air oxidation processes are summarized.
