| Abstract: | The polystyrene supported glutamic acid Schiff base complex of Mn (Ⅱ) (PS-Sal-Glue-Mn) was prepared with chloromethylated styrene polymer beads,2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, L-glutamic acid and manganese (Ⅱ) acetate tetrahyrate. The polymeric ligand and the complex were characterized by FT-IR, small area X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ICP-AES. In the presence of the manganese complex, cyclohexene (1) was effectively oxidized by molecular oxygen without reductant. The major products of the reaction were 2-cyclohexen-1-ol (2), 2-cyclohexen-1-one (3) and 2-cyclohexen-1- hydroperoxide (4), which was different with typical oxidation of cyclohexene. The influence of reaction temperature and additive for oxidation had been studied. The selectivity of 2-cyclohexen-1-hydroperoxide varied with reaction time and different additives. The mechanism of cyclohexene oxidation had also been discussed. |
