Stoichiometric and catalytic oxidations by dinuclear copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand derived from the 2:2 condensation of pyridine 2,6-dicarboxaldehyde and 1,5,9-triazanonane
摘要:
Dicopper(I) and dicopper(II) complexes of the macrocyclic ligand 3,7,11,19,23,27,33,34-octaazatricyclo[27.3.1.1(13,17)]tetratriacontadeca-1(32),2,11,13,15,17(34)18,27,29(33),3O-ene, (PD)(2)(DIPN)(2), were prepared and examined for their reactivities. The dioxygen complex of [Cu-2(PD)(2)(DIPN)(2)](2+) was generated in solution and was found to catalytically convert hydroquinone, t-butylhydroquinone, 2,6-di-t-butylphenol, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenols to their respective oxidation products, benzoquinone, t-butylbenzoquinone, 3,3',5,5'-tetra-t-butyldiphenoquinone, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethoxydiphenoquinone. The substrates 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol and 4-t-butylcatechol were converted to 3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone and the gamma-lactone of 3-hydroxy-4-t-butylmuconic acid ester respectively whereas for 4-methylcatechol the complex was inactive. The dicopper(II) complex of (PD)(2)(DIPN)(2), [Cu-2(PD)(2)(DIPN)(2)](4+) gave products with these substrates that were identical to the products obtained with the Cu(I) dioxygen complex. In addition, 4-methylcatechol was converted to the gamma-lactone of 3-hydroxy-4-methylmuconic acid ester. The oxidation of 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol by [Cu-2(PD)(2)(DIPN)(2)](2+) and dioxygen was found to be first order in the complex. The oxygenated form of the complex [Cu-2(PD)(2)(DIPN)(2)](2+) was determined to be more effective (gave more turnovers) than oxygenated forms of analogous dicopper(I) complexes of ligands prepared from furan-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde and 1,4,7-triazaheptane and from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxaldehyde and 1,4,7-triazaheptane.
