Allylic C–H Activations Using Cu(II) 2-Quinoxalinol Salen and tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide

Abstract: Using a Cu(II) 2-quinoxalinol salen complex as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, allylic activations of olefin substrates can be converted to the corresponding enones or 1,4-enediones. Excellent yields can be achieved (up to 99%) within a very short reaction time and with great tolerance for additional functional groups. Possible mechanistic pathways have been characterized using Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and theoretical calculations.

“…[30b] Therefore, the peroxide was the major product for the oxidation under an inert atmosphere. The selectivity for 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one ( B ) increases when the reaction is carried out under air (Table , entry 2) because the oxygen in the air can react with the cyclohexenyl radical to yield the ketone product Furthermore, 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one is the major product for the reaction under an oxygen atmosphere (Table , entry 4) and overoxidation products, such as 2‐cyclohexene‐1,4‐dione and 7‐oxabicyclo[4.1.0] heptan‐2‐one, are observed as well. This result implies that, with excess oxygen, the rate of the reaction between the cyclohexenyl radical and oxygen is faster than that of the cyclohexenyl radical and the tert ‐butyl peroxide radical.…”

“…According to the reaction mechanism shown in Scheme , TBHP can be activated by the catalyst to generate active radicals. However, it is also known that TBHP can just decompose during the reaction . Therefore, the amount of TBHP is an important parameter to study.…”

“…After screening reaction times, we found that three hours was optimal for completion of this reaction (entries 1-3). Among the various oxidants examined, TBPB was found to be more efficient for the explored reaction than other partners (entries [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. It is noteworthy that the reaction did not occur in the presence of several types of peroxides and persulfides, such as cyclohexanone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, ammonium persulfate, oxone, and potassium persulfate (entries 4-7 and 9).…”
