An electrochemical oxidative CÀ H sulfonylation of anilines without a metal catalyst and an external oxidant has been developed. Various sodium sulfinates are compatible, generating the desired products in up to 96% yield. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that a radical crosscoupling process is involved in this transformation.
Cu(phen)(OAc) 2 ] 2 (μ-H 2 O) (phen =1,10-phenanthroline) was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer and Thermogravimetric analysis, and its catalytic performances were investigated in the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate. The results showed that [Cu(phen)(OAc) 2 ] 2 (μ-H 2 O) exhibited high thermal stability and catalytic properties. Turnover number of dimethyl carbonate could reach to 33.0 mol DMC •mol Cu-1 under the conditions of reaction temperature of 120˚C, total pressure of 4.0 MPa, ratio of partial pressure of CO to O 2 of 19 : 1 (below the explosion limit of CO) and concentration of catalyst in methanol of 0.014mol •L-1. When the complex was reused, the loss of CH 3 COOresulted in the break of its bridge coordination, and the catalytic activity was lowered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
