The oxidation of alcohols with N2O as the hydrogen acceptor was achieved with low catalyst loadings of a rhodium complex that features a cooperative bis(olefin)amido ligand under mild conditions. Two different methods enable the formation of either the corresponding carboxylic acid or the ester. N2 and water are the only by-products. Mechanistic studies supported by DFT calculations suggest that the oxygen atom of N2O is transferred to the metal center by insertion into the Rh-H bond of a rhodium amino hydride species, generating a rhodium hydroxy complex as a key intermediate.
在温和条件下,使用负载量低的铑配合物作为催化剂,以 N2O 作为氢受体实现了醇的氧化。两种不同的方法可分别形成相应的羧酸或酯。反应的唯一副产物为 N2 和水。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算支持的机理研究表明,N2O 的氧原子通过插入铑氨基氢化物物种的 Rh-H 键转移到金属中心,生成铑羟络合物作为关键中间体。
