Methyl ketones are prepared in liquid phase by oxidizing terminal olefins of the formula R--CH.dbd.Ch.sub.2, where R is a hydrocarbon radical. The oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide or an organic hydroperoxide, and the catalyst is a palladium catalyst of the formula Pd AA' where

Process for manufacturing methyl ketones by oxidation of terminal olefins

Methyl ketones are prepared in liquid phase by oxidizing terminal olefins of the formula R--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, where R is a hydrocarbon radical. The oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide or an organic hydroperoxide, and the catalyst is a palladium catalyst of the formula Pd AA', (L.sub.m) where

Process for manufacturing solid catalysts, useful for oxidizing olefins containing from 2 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule to the corresponding carbonyl derivatives, comprising the step of impregnating a carrier with a substantially non-aqueous solution, containing at least two components [A] and [B] of the general formulas:
