A New Method for Preparation of Alcohols from Olefins with Molecular Oxygen and Phenylsilane by the Use of Bis(acetylacetonato)cobalt(II)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In the presence of a catalytic amount of bis(acetylacetonato)cobalt(II), various olefins react smoothly with molecular oxygen and phenylsilane at room temperature to afford the corresponding alcohols in good yields under neutral conditions.
