Azo linked Schiff-base[L] complexes of Mn(II)(1), Cu(II)(2) and Co(II)(3) obtained by template method, in the reaction of 4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde with 1,2-propanediamine in the present of metal acetate, respectively. Complexes are used as catalyst for oxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP); oxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by these complexes gave 2-cyclohexene-1-one and 2-cyclohexene-1-ol as major products. Conversion of cyclohexene achieved was 95-100% with (1), (2) and (3), with selectivity of 57, 92 and 100% for 2-cyclohexene-1-one, respectively. The encapsulated Cu(II) complex (Cu-NaY) catalyzes the oxidation of cyclohexene using TBHP as oxidant in good yield. (Cu-NaY) under optimized reaction condition gave three reaction products. A maximum of 100% conversion of cyclohexene has been achieved where selectivity of 2-cyclohexene-1-one was 83%.
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.
