Molybdenum Schiff base-polyoxometalate hybrid compound: A heterogeneous catalyst for alkene epoxidation with tert-BuOOH

The hybrid compound consisting of molybdenum(salen) [salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylnediamine] complex covalently linked to a lacunary Keggin-type polyoxometalate, K₈[SiW₁₁O₃₉] (POM), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR and diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopic methods and BET analysis. The complex, [Mo(O)₂(salen)–POM], was studied, for the first time, in the epoxidation of various alkenes with tert-BuOOH and in 1,2-dichloroethane as solvent. This catalyst can catalyze epoxidation of various olefins including non-activated terminal olefins. The effect of the other parameters such as solvent, oxidant and temperature on the epoxidation of cyclooctene was also investigated. The interesting characteristic of this catalyst is that, in addition to being a heterogeneous catalyst, it gives higher yields towards epoxidation of olefins in comparison to the corresponding homogeneous [Mo(O)₂(salen)] complex.

Synthesis,characterization and pronounced epoxidation activity of cis-dioxo-molybdenum(VI) tridentate Schiff base complexes using tert-butyl hydroperoxide

The synthesis and catalytic performance of novel cis-dioxo-Mo(VI) complexes containing simple ONO tridentate Schiff base ligands in the epoxidation of various olefins using tert-butyl hydroperoxide in desired times with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity have been described. The study of turnover numbers and the UV–Vis spectra of the Mo complexes in the present epoxidation system indicate well the high efficiency and stability of the catalysts during the reaction. The electron-deficient and bulky groups on the salicylidene ring of the ligand promote the effectiveness of the catalyst.     

Enantioselective electrocatalytic epoxidation of olefins by chiral manganese Schiff-base complexes

Asymmetric electrocatalytic epoxidation of olefins has been achieved with chiral manganese Schiff-base complexes immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode surface using molecular dioxygen as oxidant. The electrocatalytic system gives moderate enantiomeric excess (ee) values (65–77%) for the epoxidation of cis-stilbene, trans-stilbene and styrene. Our results indicated that the catalyst turnover number is significantly improved when the manganese complexes are immobilized on the electrode surface, which can be attributed to the suppression of the formation of inactive manganese dimer when the active metal centres are attached to the polymer network.

Heterogenized peroxopolyoxotungstate catalyst on the surface of clicked magnetite‐graphene oxide nanocomposite: Magnetically recoverable epoxidation catalyst

A new heterogeneous catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins was prepared by immobilization of peroxophosphotungstate anions on the surface of clicked magnetite‐graphene oxide as magnetically recoverable support. To prepare the heterogeneous catalyst, the clicked magnetite‐graphene oxide support was prepared by thiolene click reaction of thiol functionalized graphene oxide with vinyl modified magnetite nanoparticles. The tailored support was then modified with aminopropyl groups followed by electrostatic interaction with peroxophosphotungstate anions to achieve the desired heterogeneous catalyst. Characterization of the catalyst was performed by various physicochemical methods which confirmed the successful immobilization of peroxopolyoxotungstate species on the surface of clicked magnetite‐graphene oxide. Catalytic activity of the catalyst revealed its high catalytic activity and selectivity in the epoxidation of various olefins in the presence of H₂O₂ as green oxidant. This heterogeneous catalyst can be magnetically reused several times without significant loss of activity and selectivity.     

Titanium Salalen Catalyzed Enantioselective Benzylic Hydroxylation

The titanium complex of the cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (cis-DACH) derived Berkessel-salalen ligand is a highly efficient and enantioselective catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal olefins with hydrogen peroxide (“Berkessel-Katsuki catalyst”). We herein report that this epoxidation catalyst also effects the highly enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C−H bonds with hydrogen peroxide. Mechanism-based ligand optimization identified a novel nitro-salalen Ti-catalyst of the highest efficiency ever reported for asymmetric catalytic benzylic hydroxylation, with enantioselectivities of up to 98 % ee, while overoxidation to ketone is marginal. The novel nitro-salalen Ti-catalyst also shows enhanced epoxidation efficiency, as evidenced by e.g. the conversion of 1-decene to its epoxide in 90 % yield with 94 % ee, at a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol-% only.     

Efficient epoxidation of electron-deficient olefins with a cationic manganese complex

This catalyst is capable of epoxidizing olefins with as little as 0.1 mol % catalyst in under 5 min using 1.2 equiv of peracetic acid as the terminal oxidant. A wide scope of substrates are epoxidized including terminal, tertiary, cis and trans internal, enones, and methacrylates with >85% isolated yields.     

Remarkable enhancement of aerobic epoxidation reactivity for olefins catalyzed by μ-oxo-bisiron(III) porphyrins under ambient conditions

With μ-oxo dimeric iron(III) porphyrins [(Fe^IIITPP)₂O] as catalyst, isobutylaldehyde as co-reductant, and dioxygen as oxidant, an efficient model system for epoxidation of olefins has been developed. Compared with mono-metalloporphyrins as catalyst, a remarkable enhancement of reactivity was obtained for the present olefin epoxidation system, in which the turnover number (TON) of the catalyst has doubled from about 700 million to 1400 million. Moreover, a plausible mechanism involving both binuclear and mononuclear intermediate has been proposed.

Factors affecting the catalytic epoxidation of olefins by iron porphyrin complexes and H2O2 in protic solvents

The catalytic epoxidation of cyclohexene by iron(III) porphyrin complexes and H2O2 has been investigated in alcohol solvents to understand factors affecting the catalyst activity in protic solvents. The yields of cyclohexene oxide and the Fe(III/II) reduction potentials of iron porphyrin complexes were significantly affected by the protic solvents, and there was a close correlation between the product yields and the reduction potentials of the iron porphyrin catalysts. The role of alcohol solvents was proposed to control the electronic nature of iron porphyrin complexes that determines the catalyst activity in the epoxidation of olefins by H2O2. We have also demonstrated that an electron-deficient iron porphyrin complex can catalyze the epoxidation of olefins by H2O2 under conditions of limiting substrate with high conversion efficiency in a solvent mixture of CH3OH and CH2Cl2.

Nanoscaled Copper Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) Based on Carboxylate Ligands as an Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for Aerobic Epoxidation of Olefins and Oxidation of Benzylic and Allylic Alcohols

Aerobic epoxidation of olefins at a mild reaction temperature has been carried out by using nanomorphology of [Cu₃(BTC)₂] (BTC=1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate) as a high‐performance catalyst through a simple synthetic strategy. An aromatic carboxylate ligand was employed to furnish a heterogeneous copper catalyst and also serves as the ligand for enhanced catalytic activities in the catalytic reaction. The utilization of a copper metal–organic framework catalyst was further extended to the aerobic oxidation of aromatic alcohols. The shape and size selectivity of the catalyst in olefin epoxidation and alcohol oxidation was investigated. Furthermore, the as‐synthesized copper catalyst can be easily recovered and reused several times without leaching of active species or significant loss of activity.

The preparation, characterization and electrochemical properties are reported for three new types of molybdenum(VI) complexes with bis-thiosemicarbazone ligands.

The bis-thiosemicarbazone Mo(VI) complexes were tested as a catalyst for the homogeneous oxidation of olefins using tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The catalysts showed efficient reactivity in the olefins epoxidation reactions giving high yield and selectivity of the products, in most cases. Results showed that the bis-thiosemicarbazone ligands introduced both electronic and steric effects on catalytic performance of the prepared Mo(VI) complexes.     

Immobilized Vanadium Histidine and Tryptophan Schiff Base Complexes on Modified Magnetite Nanoparticles as Epoxidation Catalyst

In this study, magnetically recoverable vanadium complexs designated as VO(Sal-Tryp)/AmpSCMNPs and VO(Sal-His)/AmpSCMNPs were prepared through immobilization of Schiff bases of histidine or tryptophan with salicylaldehyde on the surface of modified silica coated iron oxide magnetite nanoparticles with (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane as aminopropyl (Amp) spacer followed by complexation with VOSO₄. Characterization was carried out by chemical analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, XRD, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques. VO(Sal-Tryp)/AmpSCMNPs and VO(Sal-His)/AmpSCMNP were found to catalyze the epoxidation of allyl alcohols and olefins with tert-butyl hydroperoxide with excellent conversions and selectivities. Investigation of the stability and reusability revealed the heterogeneity character of the catalyst with no desorption during the course of epoxidation reactions. High yields, clean reactions, easily catalyst separation and recyclability of the solid catalyst are some advantages of this method.     

Mn(III)‐salan/graphene oxide/magnetite nanocomposite as a highly selective catalyst for aerobic epoxidation of olefins

A nanocomposite was synthesized using carbon‐coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle‐decorated reduced graphene oxide as a convenient and efficient supporting material for grafting of a manganese–reduced Schiff base (salan) complex via covalent attachment. The nanocomposite was characterized using X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and diffuse reflectance UV–visible spectroscopies, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. It was evaluated as a catalyst for the aerobic epoxidation of olefins in acetonitrile in combination with a sacrificial co‐reductant (isobutyraldehyde). The catalytic performance of the heterogeneous system of the Mn–salan complex is superior to that of the homogeneous one. The catalyst activity strongly depends on the reaction temperature and nature of the solvent. The epoxide yield increases with the nucleophilic character of the olefin. The nanocomposite performs well as an epoxidation catalyst for electron‐rich and conjugated olefins. It can be recovered from the reaction medium by magnetic decantation and reused, maintaining good catalytic activity. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Tethering of nickel(II) Schiff-base complex onto mesoporous silica: An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for epoxidation of olefins

A new hybrid catalyst has been prepared by tethering a nickel(II) Schiff-base complex via post-synthesis modification of mesoporous silica, MCM-41. The Schiff-base has been derived from salicylaldehyde and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES) which is chemically anchored on MCM-41 via silicon alkoxide route. The anchored Schiff-bases imposed a stable planar coordination geometry around the central nickel ions. The catalyst has been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, small angle X-ray diffraction (SAX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The SAX and TEM measurement showed the mesoporosity of the catalyst. The activity of the catalyst has been assessed in the epoxidation of olefins using tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (tert-BuOOH) as oxidant in heterogeneous condition. Immobilized nickel catalyst was found to be catalytically more active and selective compared to the similar type of nickel(II) complex as well as Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O in homogeneous media. The catalyst can be recycled and reused several times without significant loss of activity.
