A selective oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate([bmim]BF4) was achieved by using a novel salicylaldehyd amino acid Schiff base manganese ligand. The catalytic s

Stepwise oxygenation at the benzylic position (1°, 2°, 3°) of aromatic molecules was comprehensively established under ambient conditions via uranyl photocatalysis to produce carboxylic acids, ketones, and alcohols, respectively. The accuracy of the stepwise oxygenation was ensured by the tunability of catalytic activity in uranyl photocatalysis, which was adjusted by solvents and additives demonstrated through Stern–Volmer analysis. Hydrogen atom transfer between the benzylic position and the uranyl catalyst facilitated oxygenation, further confirmed by kinetic studies. Considerably improved efficiency of flow operation demonstrated the potential for industrial synthetic application.

The direct enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C-H bonds to form chiral benzylic alcohols represents a challenging transformation. Herein, we report on the exploration of new biologically inspired manganese and iron complexes bearing highly electron-rich aminopyridine ligands containing 4-pyrrolidinopyridine moieties ((S,S)-1, (R,R)-1, 2 and 5) in combination with chiral bis-pyrrolidine and N,N-cyclohexanediamine backbones in enantioselective oxidation catalysis with aqueous H2O2. The current manganese complexes outperform the analogous manganese complexes containing 4-dimethylaminopyridine moieties (3 and 4) in benzylic oxidation reactions in terms of alcohol yield while keeping similar ee values (～60% ee), which is attributed to the higher basicity of the 4-pyrrolidinopyridine group. A detailed investigation of different carboxylic acid additives in enantioselective benzylic oxidation provides new insights into how to rationally enhance enantioselectivities by means of proper tuning of the environment around the catalytic active site, and has resulted in the selection of Boc-l-Tert-leucine as the preferred additive. Using these optimized conditions, manganese complex 2 was shown to be effective in the enantioselective benzylic oxidation of a series of arylalkane substrates with up to 50% alcohol yield and 62% product ee. A final set of experiments also highlights the use of the new 4-pyrrolidinopyridine-based complexes in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins (up to 98% epoxide yield and >99% ee).
