Abstract:

A series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide Schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (ABTSC) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (TCTS) were synthesized with Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ag(I) salts (chloride and acetate). These complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultra violet visible (UV-Vis), molar conductance (λm), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and elemental analysis (CHNS). All complexes were applied as a catalyst for oxidation of aromatic alcohols. The effects of reaction time, temperature, catalyst amount, oxidant and solvents were investigated in detail. The oxidation of alcohols occurs effectively and selectively with H2O2 as the oxidant. For instance, 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde with 95% conversion and 100 % benzaldehyde selectivity under the optimum conditions.

Oxidation of benzoin catalyzed by oxovanadium(IV) schiff base complexes

BACKGROUND The oxidative transformation of benzoin to benzil has been accomplished by the use of a wide variety of reagents or catalysts and different reaction procedures. The conventional oxidizing agents yielded mainly benzaldehyde or/and benzoic acid and only a trace amount of benzil. The limits of practical utilization of these reagents involves the use of stoichiometric amounts of corrosiv...
