Microencapsulated methylrhenium trioxide (MTO)/H2O2 systems for the oxidation of cardanol derivatives*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A convenient and efficient application of microencapsulated/methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) and MTO/pyridine systems for the selective oxidation of cardanol derivatives is reported. Environmentally friendly and low-cost H2O2 was used as the oxygen atom donor. The catalysts were stable systems for at least five recycling experiments. In the oxidation of C2 alkyl-substituted cardanol derivatives, high conversion and yields of the corresponding para-benzoquinones were obtained. By contrast, in the absence of the C2 substituent, an unprecedented oxidative degradation to di-γ-lactone derivative was observed.

A novel and efficient procedure to prepare highly oxidised aryltetralin lignans, such as isopodophyllotoxone and (-)-aristologone derivatives, by oxidation of podophyllotoxin and galbulin with methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) and novel MTO heterogeneous catalysts is reported. It is noteworthy that in the case of isopodophyllotoxone derivatives the functionalisation of the C-4 position of the C-ring...
متن کاملMethylrhenium trioxide revisited: mechanisms for nonredox oxygen insertion in an M-CH3 bond.
Methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) has the rare ability to stoichiometrically generate methanol at room temperature with an external oxidant (H2O2) under basic conditions. In order to use this transformation as a model for nonredox oxidative C-O coupling, the mechanisms have been elucidated using density functional theory (DFT). Our studies show several possible reaction pathways to form methanol, wi...

We studied the Baeyer–Villiger (BV) type oxidation of phenylrhenium trioxide (PTO) by H2O2 in the aqueous phase using Quantum Mechanics (density functional theory with the M06 functional) focusing on how the solution pH and the para-substituent affect the Gibbs free energy surfaces. For both PTO and MTO (methylrhenium trioxide) cases, we find that for pH > 1 the BV pathway having OH as the leav...
متن کاملSelective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides by a vanadium-based catalyst using 30% hydrogen peroxide
The vanadium-based catalyst, acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of sulfides with 30% aqueous H2O2. Vanadium-based catalyst was successfully used as the oxygen source for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides for the first time. The sulfoxides were obtained in a good way to high yields without any detectable over-oxidation to sulfones under normal condi...
