Abstract: The invention discloses a method for selectively introducing carbonyl groups into polymers by oxygenation of double C?C bonds of polymers with the aid of nitrous oxide (N2O) at a temperature comprised between 50 and 350° C. and a pressure of N2O of from 0.01 to 100 atmospheres. The introduction of an insignificant amount of C?O groups allows one to modify the physico-chemical properties of a polymer, with its molecular weight and molecular-weight distribution preserved. Deeper oxygenation results in controlled cleavage of polymer macromolecules and makes it possible to produce oxygen-containing oligomers having a desired molecular weight.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing monocyclic ketones C4-C5. The inventive method is based on the reaction of a liquid-phase oxidation of monocyclic alkenes C4-C5 into corresponding cyclic ketones by nitrogen oxide or the mixture thereof with an inert gas. The process is carried out at a temperature ranging from 20 to 300° C. and a pressure of nitrogen oxide ranging from 0.01 to 100 atm. The inventive process ensures the high selectivity with respect to target products, the explosion safety at work and is promising for industrial use.
