Catalytic oxidation of alcohols by a novel manganese Schiff base ligand derived from salicylaldehyd and l-Phenylalanine in ionic liquids

A selective oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate([bmim]BF4) was achieved by using a novel salicylaldehyd amino acid Schiff base manganese ligand. The catalytic s

Visible light-mediated, high-efficiency oxidation of benzyl to acetophenone catalyzed by fluorescein

An environmentally friendly aerobic oxidation of benzyl C(sp3)-H bonds to ketones via selective oxidation catalysis was developed. Fluorescein is an efficient photocatalyst with excellent chemical selectivity. The reaction has a wide substrate scope, and a successful gram-scale experiment demonstrated its potential industrial utility.

Catalytic alcohol oxidation using cationic Schiff base manganeseIII complexes with flexible diamino bridge

Four Schiff base manganese(III) complexes with derivatives of [(R,R)-N,N’-bis(salicy1idene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminato)] including substituents on salicylaldehyde such as 3-methoxy, 3,5-di-tert-butyl and 3,5-chloro were synthesized and characterized using a combination of IR, UV–Vis, and HR ESI-MS techniques. The catalytic activity of these complexes was tested in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone, revealing very good performances for all of the four manganese complexes. The catalytic reactions were carried out in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and imidazole as co-catalyst. Complex Mn-4, bearing electron withdrawing [(R,R)-N,N’-bis(3,5-di-chloro-salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminato)] ligand was found to be the most stable of the tested Mn(III) complexes and was selected for the oxidation of several primary and secondary alcohols.
