Formation of a Cu(II)–phenoxyl radical complex from a Cu(II)–phenolate complex: A new model for galactose oxidase
摘要:
A new N3O type tetradentate ligand (HL) [2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((4-(2-(6,8-di-tert-butyl-2H-benzo[e] [1,3]oxazin-3(4H)-yl)ethyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenol] and its complex [CuL(CH3OH)]ClO4 (CH3OH) have been synthesised. The complex has been crystallographically and spectroscopically characterised. It has been noticed that in the presence of acetonitrile the Cu(II) centers in the complex undergo reduction with a concomitant oxidation of the ligand. EPR and UV-Vis spectroscopic studies of the complex in acetonitrile indicate that this disproportionation proceeds via the formation of a Cu(II)-phenoxyl intermediate. The Cu(II)-phenoxyl complex is found to be stable in methanol in the presence of base. The oxidised products of the ligand are isolated and characterized. The paramagnetic centers in the Cu(II)-phenoxyl complexes were found to be weakly ferromagnetically coupled. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

One-Pot Synthesis of Benzoxazines Through Mannich Condensations
Five benzoxazine were synthesized by Mannich condensation reaction between 2,4-ditert-butyl phenol, formaldehyde and different amines in one pot synthesis. The benzoxazines were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral and crystal structure determination. The synthesis process requires considerable less time and three of the five benzoxazines are new and reported for the first time.
