Three Reagents In One: Ammonium Permanganate In The Oxidation Of Benzyl Alcohol

Abstract: Ammonium Permanganate, OxidationThe oxidation or consecutive ammoxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol with solid ammo nium permanganate was studied. The first oxidation step leads to the formation of benzaldehyde, ammonia, and M n 02. The M n 02 is present in the system in a colloidal form which facilitates the reaction between aldehyde and ammonia, and this latter reaction then yields benzonitrile. All these products are formed in a heterogeneous system under relatively mild conditions. The yield of benzaldehy… Show more

“…It is known that benzonitrile can be formed in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol with ammonium permanganate, 48 where the amount of ammonia needed for the ammoxidation reaction is rather limited to yield nitrile due to the stoichiometry (1:1) of NH 4 MnO 4 . In our case, the urea content of compound 1 is the source of ammonia.…”

“…The addition of coordinating solvents to substitute ammonia in the coordination sphere of the complex cation (DMF or CH 3 CN) suppressed the nitrile formation due to the stable solvated ammine complex formation [65]. It shows that the stability of the NH 3 source is a key factor in the ammoxidation reactions of benzyl alcohol into benzonitrile because the ammonium permanganate [99] or [hexakis(urea)iron(III)] permanganate (urea acts as ammonia precursor) [11] results in much more benzonitrile formation than the [tetraamminecopper(II)] permanganate [65].…”

“…This reaction could be performed using two main types of oxidant. On the one hand, the utilization of metal oxides such as chromates [4,5] or permanganates [6,7] could lead to pollution by heavy metals in the desired product. Moreover, this process does not respect the principle of green chemistry since a really low atom efficiency is obtained, and a large quantity of waste is generated.…”
