4-Methoxysalicylaldehyde, a naturally occurring product, has a range of industrial applications in the preparation of organic compounds, drugs and therapeutic agents. 4-Methoxysalicylaldehyde can be synthesised via selective monomethylation of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in toluene in the presence of NaHCO3 in higher yield using cheaper reagents with little production of dimethylation product compared to previous methods. The location of the methoxyl group was confirmed by conversion to 3-acetyl-7-methoxycoumarin by condensation with ethyl acetoacetate.

Selective oxidation of alcohols via photocatalytic processes by O2 molecules as a green oxidant and visible light has a great potential to dissolve the environmental crisis and worldwide energy. Herein, I-TiO2 Nanoparticle/g-C3N4 Nanosheets (I-TiO2/CNNSs) heterostructured composite with different contents of graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets has been successfully prepared via a facile and simple procedure. The structure of the I-TiO2/CNNSs nanocomposite was analyzed by FT-IR, XRD, EDX, BET, TGA, FESEM, DRS, and PL techniques. The resultant nanocomposite (I-TiO2/(20 wt%)CNNSs) exhibits superior photocatalytic efficiency than its pristine g-C3N4 and iodine doped TiO2 for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols under the illumination of visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm). Introduction of the I-TiO2 on the surface of CNNSs can improve the absorption ability in the visible region and separation efficiency of charge carriers during the photocatalytic oxidation. Hence, these obtained results show that the I-TiO2/(20 wt%)CNNSs nanocomposite possess high photocatalytic performance and excellent reusability in oxidation reactions and other sustainable energy-related applications.

Abstract An unusual autocatalytic photooxidation of 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol has been observed under UV irradiation in aqueous medium. The homogeneous oxidation is catalyzed by the corresponding aldehyde that is also the main oxidation product. The trend of alcohol disappearance rate matches the typical shape of an autocatalytic process, where a crucial and ambivalent role is played by the presence of molecular oxygen. Low oxygen concentrations give rise to a zero-order reaction since the beginning of irradiation, while higher amounts of oxygen reduce the alcohol oxidation rate until the aldehyde reaches a concentration high enough to speed up the alcohol's conversion. Experiments performed by varying alcohol, aldehyde and oxygen concentrations in both aqueous and organic media suggest that the alcohol oxidation is initially favored by the presence of oxygen. Once the formed aldehyde competes for photon absorption, the oxidation is driven by aldehydes alpha cleavage leading to reactive oxygenated species in aqueous medium. An excess of oxygen quenches the latter processes thus inhibiting/slowing down the reaction.

Porous graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was synthesized by taking melamine and ammonium bicarbonate through single-step calcination method followed by ultrasonication to obtain exfoliated porous g-C3N4 (2D) nanosheets. Further enhancement of photocatalytic performance, g-C3N4 nanosheet (2D) was further modified with different weight percentage of (1, 3, 5, and 7) of MnO2. The introduction of α-MnO2 onto the g-C3N4 nanosheet establishes an interlayer channels to promote the migration of charge carriers through the valence band and conduction band of the prepared composite MnO2@g-C3N4. The transformation of photo induced charge carriers adopt the Z-scheme mechanism rather band-transfer mechanism. The accumulated photo generated electrons in conduction band of g-C3N4 is more electro negative than the potential of (O2/O2–.) and able to reduce oxygen to superoxide (O2–.) radical. At the same time, the holes in valence band of α-MnO2 are more electro positive than the potential of (OH–/OH.) and help in oxidate OH– to hydroxyl (OH.) radical. Among all the composites, 3 wt% MnO2 modified g-C3N4 shows the best photocatalytic oxidation efficiency towards all the aromatic alcohols. In presence of visible light, heterojuction formation, and formation of active charged species (OH. and O2–.) were mostly responsible for photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols through free radical mechanism.
A new catalytic approach for aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols based on a Copper(I)-thiophene carbaldimines

We report here novel Cu(I) thiophene carbaldimine catalysts for the selective aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and various diols to lactones or lactols. In the presence of the in situ generated Cu(I) species, a persistent radical (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine-N-oxyl (TEMPO)) and N-methylimidazole (NMI) as an auxiliary ligand, the reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions and at ambient temperature. Especially the catalytic system of 1-(thiophen-2-yl)-N-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanimine (ligand L2) with copper(I)-iodide showed high reactivity for all kind of alcohols (benzylic, allylic and aliphatic). In the case of benzyl alcohol even 2.5 mol% of copper loading gave quantitative yield. Beside high activity under aerobic conditions, the catalysts ability to oxidize 1,5-pentadiol to the corresponding lactol (86% in 4 h) and N-phenyldiethanolamine to the corresponding morpholine derivate lactol (86% in 24 h) is particularly noteworthy.
