Bismuth-catalyzed allylic oxidation using t-butyl hydroperoxide

Selective catalytic oxidation of organosulfur compounds with tert-butyl hydroperoxide.

Rates and selectivities for the oxidation of various organosulfur compounds with tert-butyl hydroperoxide were measured on CoAPO-5 (APO = aluminophosphate; Co/P = 0.05), Co/H-Y (Co/Al = 0.15), and MoO(x)/Al2O3 (15 % wt MoO3). Rates increased with increasing electron density at the sulfur atom (methyl phenyl sulfide>diphenyl sulfide>4-methyldibenzothiophene>2,5-dimethyl thiophene). Rates (per me...

Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkenylation of allylic alcohols with n-butyl acrylate.

Various allylic alcohols reacted with n-butyl acrylate in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic anhydride and palladium catalysts to yield the corresponding n-butyl 2,5-dienoates with high regioselectivity.

Palladium-catalyzed selective anti-Markovnikov oxidation of allylic esters.

Oxidation of Alkenes with tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide Catalyzed by Mn(II), Cu(II) and VO(IV) Schiff Base Complexes Encapsulated in the Zeolite-Y: A Comparative Study

Oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been encapsulated in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by flexible ligand method and characterized by metal analysis, IR spectroscopic studies and X-ray diffraction patterns. The encapsulated complexes abbreviated here as CuL-Y, MnL-Y and VOL-Y catalyz...

Allylic and benzylic sp3 C-H oxidation in water.

A copper-catalyzed method for the oxidation of allylic and benzylic sp(3) C-H by aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide (T-Hydro) in water using a recyclable fluorous ligand has been developed. The reaction procedure is tolerant to additional functional groups and the fluorous ligand could be reused with little loss of catalytic activity.
