Catalytic oxidative cleavage of catechol by a non-heme iron(III) complex as a green route to dimethyl adipate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The catalyst system prepared in situ from iron(III) salts, tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and a base readily catalyses the intradiol dioxygenation of pyrocatechol in methanol, to primarily afford the half-methyl ester of muconic acid. Dimethyl adipate is obtained by the subsequent, one-step catalytic hydrogenation/esterification, thus providing a green route to this important nylon precursor.

Reaction mechanism of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase.
We have observed that high SOD-like function (decomposition of superoxide anion) was observed for several iron(III) compounds with tripodal ligands and several oxovanadium(IV) compounds, and also that these compounds exhibit high catalytic activity for oxidative cleavage of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol in non-donating solvents such as dichloromethane or nitromethane. These are suggesting that the ...
متن کاملExperimental and Computational Evidence for the Mechanism of Intradiol Catechol Dioxygenation by Non-Heme Iron(III) Complexes
Catechol intradiol dioxygenation is a unique reaction catalyzed by iron-dependent enzymes and non-heme iron(III) complexes. The mechanism by which these systems activate dioxygen in this important metabolic process remains controversial. Using a combination of kinetic measurements and computational modelling of multiple iron(III) catecholato complexes, we have elucidated the catechol cleavage m...
متن کاملDifferences and Comparisons of the Properties and Reactivities of Iron(III)–hydroperoxo Complexes with Saturated Coordination Sphere
Heme and nonheme monoxygenases and dioxygenases catalyze important oxygen atom transfer reactions to substrates in the body. It is now well established that the cytochrome P450 enzymes react through the formation of a high-valent iron(IV)-oxo heme cation radical. Its precursor in the catalytic cycle, the iron(III)-hydroperoxo complex, was tested for catalytic activity and found to be a sluggish...
متن کاملAn effective and mild oxidative aromatization of isoxazolines and 2-pyrazolines by trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxalane promoted by ammonium iodide in water/MeCN
Pyrazoles and isoxazoles are well-known important heterocyclic compounds that due to their participation in the structure of many drugs are very important. Pyrazoles and isoxzaloes can be prepared by oxidation of pyrazolines and isoxazolines respectively. In this work, trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxalane (DHPDMDO)/NH4I has been used as a new, powerful, nearly green, effective and...
