molybdenum oxide compound, [N(C4H9)4]2[Mo6O19] (1), catalyzed selective oxidation of anilines with hydrogen peroxide as green oxidant. The oxidation of anilines can be realized in a fully selectively fashion to afford various symmetric/asymmetric azobenzene and azoxybenzene compounds, respectively, by changing additive and solvent, avoiding the use of stoichiometric metal oxidants. Preliminary mechanistic
在医药和工业应用中起重要作用的芳族偶氮化合物在合成中仍然面临巨大挑战。在此,我们报道了一种氧化钼化合物[N(C 4 H 9)4 ] 2 [Mo 6 O 19 ](1),用过氧化氢作为绿色氧化剂催化苯胺的选择性氧化。苯胺的氧化可以完全选择性地实现,通过改变添加剂和溶剂避免使用化学计量的金属氧化剂,从而分别提供各种对称/不对称的偶氮苯和and氧基苯化合物。初步的机理研究表明,高活性的反应性和难以捉摸的钼亚胺配合物是中间的。
