Applications
Aerobic oxidation of various alcohols has been accomplished by using a new catalytic system, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with Co (acac). A practical catalytic method to convert alkylbenzenes into the corresponding carboxylic acids under atmospheric dioxygen at ambient temperature using a combined catalytic system consisting of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and Co (OAc) 2 was developed. Novel catalysis by N-hydroxyphthalimide in the oxidation of organic substrates by molecular oxygen was described. Free radical functionalization of organic compounds catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide. Purely organic and catalytic systems of anthraquinones and N-hydroxyphthalimide efficiently promote oxygenation of hydrocarbons with dioxygen under mild conditions. Hydroxylation of polycyclic alkanes with molecular oxygen catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with was transition metal salts.

Solubility
Slightly soluble in water.

Notes
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store away from strong oxidizing agents.
