Selective oxidation of phenols to hydroxybenzaldehydes and benzoquinones with dioxygen catalyzed by polymer-supported copper

Oxidation of 2,6-disubstituted 4-methylphenols with dioxygen by using a CuCl2-poly(4-methyl-4′-vinyl-2,2′-bipyridine) catalyst gave the corresponding 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes in high yields. The activity of the catalyst and the selectivity of the products significantly depended on the reaction conditions and the composition of the catalyst. When the molar ratio of the bipyridine unit of the polymer ligand to Cu was unity, i.e., N/Cu = 2, the best results were obtained. Moreover, the reaction is likely to be promoted by coordination of the products to the catalyst. Similarly, 2,3,6-trimethylphenol and related compounds were converted to p-benzoquinones selectively with a CuCl2-poly(4-vinylpyridine) catalyst. These polymer-supported catalysts were readily recovered and are reusable without noticeable decrease of their activity.

A Facile Synthesis of 4-Alkoxymethylphenols by a Copper(II)-Acetoxime Catalyst/O2 System

4-Alkoxymethyl-2,6-dimethylphenols were synthesized from 2,4,6-trimethylphenol in good yields by a copper(II) chloride-acetoxime catalyst/molecular oxygen system in alcohols at ambient temperature.The oxidation of the other p-methylsubstituted phenols were also examined.
