Selective oxidation of benzylic C-H compounds to ketones is important for the production of a wide range of fine chemicals, and is often achieved using toxic or precious metal catalysts. Herein, we report the efficient oxidation of benzylic C-H groups in a broad range of substrates under mild conditions over a robust metal-organic framework material, MFM-170, incorporating redox-active [Cu (O CR) ] paddlewheel nodes. A comprehensive investigation employing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction has identified the critical role of the paddlewheel moiety in activating the oxidant BuOOH (tert-butyl hydroperoxide) via partial reduction to [Cu Cu (O CR) ] species.
将苄基C-H化合物选择性氧化为酮对于多种精细化学品的生产至关重要,并且通常使用有毒或贵金属催化剂来实现。在此,我们报道了在温和条件下,通过一种坚固的金属有机框架材料MFM-170,对多种底物中的苄基C-H基团进行高效氧化,该材料包含具有氧化还原活性的[Cu₂(μ-O₂CR)₂]桨轮节点。采用电子顺磁共振(EPR)光谱和同步加速器X射线衍射进行的全面研究已经确定了桨轮部分通过部分还原为[Cu₂(μ-O₂CR)₂]物种来激活氧化剂叔丁基过氧化氢(BuOOH)的关键作用。
