Abstrakt: New composition catalysts based on bis(acetylacetonato)nickel(II) and ammonium salts, R4NBr (Me4NBr,n-C16H33Me3NBr) for selective oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons to the appropriate hydroperoxides have been introduced. It is demonstrated that the rate, selectivity, and degree of conversion of ethylbenzene to a-ethylphenylhydroperoxide in this case are significantly higher than those observed for monodentate and macrocyclic ligands used as activating additives. The data obtained are in good agreement with the suggestion that the selective catalyst is formed in the course of ethylbenzene oxidation as a result of regioselective interaction of dioxygen with the ?-carbon atom of the acetylacetonate ligand controlled by R4NBr.
