A new magnetic nanoparticle‐supported Schiff base complex of manganese: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for selective oxidation of alcohols

A new magnetic nanoparticle‐supported Schiff base complex of manganese was prepared via the copper‐catalyzed ‘click’ reaction of an aminosalicylidene manganese complex bearing terminal alkynyl with azide‐functionalized shell–core magnetic nanoparticles. The as‐prepared catalyst was applied in the oxidation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes or ketones with high yield and selectivity when the reaction was carried out in dimethylsulfoxide at 110°C for 4 h using tert‐butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture using an external magnet and reused five times with no significant loss of catalytic activity.

Polypyrrole-palladium nanocomposite coating of micrometer-sized polymer particles toward a recyclable catalyst

A range of near-monodisperse, multimicrometer-sized polymer particles has been coated with ultrathin overlayers of polypyrrole-palladium (PPy-Pd) nanocomposite by chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole using PdCl(2) as an oxidant in aqueous media. Good control over the targeted PPy-Pd nanocomposite loading is achieved for 5.2 μm diameter polystyrene (PS) particles, and PS particles of up to 84 μm diameter can also be efficiently coated with the PPy-Pd nanocomposite. The seed polymer particles and resulting composite particles were extensively characterized with respect to particle size and size distribution, morphology, surface/bulk chemical compositions, and conductivity. Laser diffraction studies of dilute aqueous suspensions indicate that the polymer particles disperse stably before and after nanocoating with the PPy-Pd nanocomposite. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum of the PS particles coated with the PPy-Pd nanocomposite overlayer is dominated by the underlying particle, since this is the major component (>96% by mass). Thermogravimetric and elemental analysis indicated that PPy-Pd nanocomposite loadings were below 6 wt %. The conductivity of pressed pellets prepared with the nanocomposite-coated particles increased with a decrease of particle diameter because of higher PPy-Pd nanocomposite loading. "Flattened ball" morphologies were observed by scanning/transmission electron microscopy after extraction of the PS component from the composite particles, which confirmed a PS core and a PPy-Pd nanocomposite shell morphology. X-ray diffraction confirmed the production of elemental Pd and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies indicated the existence of elemental Pd on the surface of the composite particles. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that nanometer-sized Pd particles were distributed in the shell. Near-monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate) particles with diameters ranging between 10 and 19 μm have been also successfully coated with PPy-Pd nanocomposite, and stable aqueous dispersions were obtained. The nanocomposite particles functioned as an efficient catalyst for the aerobic oxidative homocoupling reaction of 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid in aqueous media for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The composite particles sediment in a short time (相似文献

Microstructured Au/Ni-fiber catalyst for low-temperature gas-phase selective oxidation of alcohols

Galvanic deposition of Au onto a thin-sheet sinter-locked 8 μm Ni-fiber delivers a high-performance Au/Ni-fiber catalyst for alcohol oxidation, due to the unique combination of excellent heat conductivity, remarkable low-temperature activity, and good stability/regenerability. The special NiO@Au ensembles formed during the reaction contribute to promoting the low-temperature activity.     

A water-soluble and "self-assembled" polyoxometalate as a recyclable catalyst for oxidation of alcohols in water with hydrogen peroxide

We have demonstrated that a simply prepared water-soluble polyoxometalate, Na12[WZnZn2(H2O)2(ZnW9O34)2], synthesized from readily available zinc and tungsten salts in the presence of nitric acid, is an effective catalyst for selective alcohol oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in biphasic (water-alcohol) reaction media. Experiments have shown that the "self-assembled" catalyst in its mother liquor was as active as the isolated catalyst. The aqueous catalyst solution is easily separated from the water-insoluble products and can be recycled without loss in activity or selectivity.

The catalyst could be reused five times without appreciable loss of activity.     

A new vanadium Schiff base complex as catalyst for oxidation of alcohols

The monoanionic bidentate Schiff base, N-(phenolyl)-benzaldimine (HL), has been employed to synthesize a new vanadium(IV) complex of general composition [VO(L)₂] (where L?=?O,?N donor of Schiff base). The ligand and complex have been fully characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance data, FT-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopies. Oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones was conducted by this complex catalyst using Oxone as oxidant under biphasic reaction conditions (CH₂Cl₂/H₂O) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide as phase transfer agent under air at room temperature.     

Highly selective oxidation of alcohols using MnO2/TiO2-ZrO2 as a novel heterogeneous catalyst

MnO₂/TiO₂-ZrO₂, which was synthesized by the adsorption method, demonstrated very high catalytic activity in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes with excellent yields and selectivity in short reaction times. The physical and chemical properties of MnO₂/TiO₂-ZrO₂ were investigated by XRD, XRF, BET, FT-IR and SEM techniques. The influence of the catalyst support (SBA-15, ZSM-5, TiO₂-ZrO₂ and Y), type of metal oxide supported, method of loading and amount of manganese nitrate loading have been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, the catalyst has shown excellent reusability in the process.     

Tungstate ions (WO4=) supported on imidazolium framework as novel and recyclable catalyst for rapid and selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide

Tungstate salt with imidazolium framework is found to be a recoverable and heterogeneous system favouring the highly selective oxidation of primary benzylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes with 30% H₂O₂ as a green oxidant under neutral aqueous reaction conditions. Furthermore, in order to demonstrate the recyclability of the catalyst, it was recovered and efficiently reused in seven succeeding reaction cycles without any significant loss. The use of green solvent, very short reaction time with excellent yields and recyclability of the catalyst make this protocol highly advantageous.

A new impregnated iridium on magnetite catalyst has been prepared, characterized, used and recycled, up to ten times with practically the same activity, for the first practical cross-alkylation of primary alcohols. The catalyst showed a wide reaction scope, is easy to prepare and handle, and it could be removed from the reaction medium just by magnetic sequestering.     

Palladium supported on chitosan as a recyclable and selective catalyst for the synthesis of 2-phenyl ethanol

Two different chitosan supported palladium based catalysts were prepared, wherein dispersed palladium nanoparticles were obtained via chemical reduction supported on chitosan (Pd/CTS) and amine functionalized modified chitosan (Pd/AFCTS). The catalytic activity of the Pd-based catalysts, Pd/CTS and Pd/AFCTS, were assessed in the hydrogenation of styrene oxide to 2-phenyl ethanol. Both Pd-based catalysts enhanced the formation of the desired 2-phenyl ethanol in contrast to a conventional Pd/C catalyst without the assistance of inorganic or organic base. A considerable influence on the conversion and selectivity was observed in the case of Pd/AFCTS, consisting of palladium nanoparticles stabilized and dispersed on amine-functionalized chitosan matrix, affording complete conversion of styrene oxide with 98% selectivity to 2-phenyl ethanol. The catalyst Pd/AFCTS has also been recycled without significant loss of activity and selectivity.     

Cobalt hydroxides immobilized on ionites as catalyst for water-to-oxygen oxidation

A way of preparation of dioxygen-evolving catalysts by immobilization of cobalt compounds on ion-exchange resins is proposed. Immobilized cobalt hydroxides are more selective in the reaction of water-to-oxygen oxidation than massive ones and, when prepared as mixture with Al(III), Fe(III), Sn(IV) or Ce(IV), they become even more selective.

A rugged lead-ruthenate pyrochlore membrane catalyst for highly selective oxidation of alcohols

A rugged lead-ruthenate pyrochlore (Py, Pb₂Ru₂O₇) Nafion 417 membrane catalyst (|NPy|) has been demonstrated for highly efficient and fully selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Under a triphasic condition of CH₂Cl_2(org)//|NPy|_(s)//NaOCl-pH 11_(aq), the |NPy| can be recycled and reused effectively on oxidations of alcohols. Using a same piece of |NPy|, similar reaction yields were obtained by repeating benzyl alcohol oxidation reaction for 20 times. Electrochemical mechanistic investigation indicated that the perruthenate ion (RuO₄⁻) intermediate was responsible for selective mediation of the alcohol oxidation.

We developed an environmentally friendly method for aerobic oxidation of alcohols using a commercially available, relatively benign bismuth salt as a catalyst. We found that the catalytic combination of BiBr₃ with nitric acid is key for enhancing the reactivity. The reaction proceeds well under air, making the use of pure oxygen unnecessary. Each of the primary or secondary alcohols tested was oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones using this protocol.
