Lagerspets, Emi published the artcileSchiff base Cu(I) catalyst for aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols, Name: 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol, the main research area is copper Schiff base complex catalyst preparation; aldehyde preparation; alc aerobic oxidation copper Schiff base complex catalyst.
New copper(I)-Schiff base complexes were reported for the selective aerobic oxidation of primary alcs. to aldehydes RCHO [R = (CH2)6, Ph, (CH2)2Ph, etc.] under ambient conditions. Particularly, the copper(I) complex bearing N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(furan-2-yl)methanimine showed high activity in the series and gave near- quant. yields in the oxidations of benzyl alc. (99% yield in 1 h) and 1-octanol (96% yield in 24 h). Based on the X-ray structure determination, the complex had a square pyramidal coordination accomplished by two N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(furan-2-yl)methanimine ligands and bromide as a counter anion. The oxidation reactions were monitored with UV-vis and in situ ATR-IR spectroscopy to study the changes in the catalytic structure and to elucidate the catalytic properties and the mechanistic details. Accordingly, detachment of one of the N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(furan-2-yl)methanimine ligands from the complexes was related to the oxidation activity.
Molecular Catalysis published new progress about Aldehydes Role: SPN (Synthetic Preparation), PREP (Preparation). 505-10-2 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol, and the molecular formula is C4H10OS, Name: 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol.
