Abstract:
1. A method of synthesizing olefins, alcohols, ethers, and aldehydes comprising the steps of: providing a first reactant selected from the group consisting of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, dienes, and aromatics; providing a second reactant comprising a halide selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine; reacting the first reactant and the second reactant to form a first reaction product; reacting the first reaction product with a solid oxidizer thereby forming a product selected from the group consisting of olefins, alcohols, ethers, and aldehydes, and spent oxidizer; oxidizing the spent oxidizer to produce the original solid oxidizer and the original second reactant; recycling the solid oxidizer; and recycling the second reactant.
