    Abstract: 2077548 9113853 PCTABS00007 The present invention provides reaction mixtures useful for oxidation of olefins to carbonyl products, comprising an olefin and an aqueous catalyst solution comprising a palladium catalyst, a polyoxoacid or polyoxoanion oxidant comprising vanadium, and dissolved olefin. It also provides processes for oxidation of olefins to carbonyl products, comprising mixing an olefin with an aqueous catalyst solution. It also provides processes for oxidation of olefins to carbonyl products by dioxygen, comprising mixing an olefin with an aqueous catalyst solution, and further comprising mixing dioxygen with the aqueous catalyst solution. In certain reaction mixtures and related processes of the present invention, the concentration of dissolved olefin in the aqueous catalyst solution is effective for its oxidation rate to not be limited by its rate of its diffusion into the aqueous solution. In other reaction mixtures and related processes of the present invention, the concentration of dissolved olefin in the aqueous catalyst solution is effective for its oxidation rate to be proportional to the palladium catalyst concentration. In other processes of the present invention, the olefin is mixed with the aqueous catalyst solution under mixing conditions effective for providing an olefin oxidation rate of at least 1 (millimole olefin/liter solution)/second. In other processes of the present invention, dioxygen is mixed with an aqueous reduced vanadium-polyoxoanion solution under mixing conditions effective for providing a dioxygen reaction rate of at least 1 (millimole dioxygen/liter solution)/second. In other reaction mixtures and related processes of the present invention, the aqueous solution is essentially free of sulfuric acid and sulfate ions.
