Paragraph 0046-0049, (2021/09/29)
The invention discloses a method for hydrolyzing a diarylether compound to generate an arylphenol compound. According to the method, visible light is utilized to excite a photosensitizer for catalysis. In a reaction solvent, the raw material in the formula (1) breaks a C (sp2)-O bond under the auxiliary action of acid, and hydrolysis is performed to obtain the bimolecular aryl phenol compounds in the formula (3) and the formula (4). The method can catalyze the reaction at room temperature, is green and environment-friendly, and is easy to operate; the universality is wide, the reaction yield is relatively high, and the tolerance of functional groups is strong; the synthesis method not only can realize small-scale hydrolysis conversion of various diarylether compounds, but also can realize hydrolysis of herbicidal ether, triclosan and a lignin template substrate, and even can realize large-scale hydrolysis of triclosan and the lignin template substrate to realize gram-level degradation. A new strategy is provided for recovering phenol derivatives through lignin hydrolysis, degrading pesticides and purifying wastewater containing a degerming agent or herbicide. The method has wide application prospect and use value.

The oxidation of aromatic substrates to phenols with H2O2 as a benign oxidant remains an ongoing challenge in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we successfully achieved to catalyze aromatic C?H bond oxidations using a series of biologically inspired manganese catalysts in fluorinated alcohol solvents. While introduction of bulky substituents into the ligand structure of the catalyst favors aromatic C?H oxidations in alkylbenzenes, oxidation occurs at the benzylic position with ligands bearing electron-rich substituents. Therefore, the nature of the ligand is key in controlling the chemoselectivity of these Mn-catalyzed C?H oxidations. We show that introduction of bulky groups into the ligand prevents catalyst inhibition through phenolate-binding, consequently providing higher catalytic turnover numbers for phenol formation. Furthermore, employing halogenated carboxylic acids in the presence of bulky catalysts provides enhanced catalytic activities, which can be attributed to their low pKa values that reduces catalyst inhibition by phenolate protonation as well as to their electron-withdrawing character that makes the manganese oxo species a more electrophilic oxidant. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the new system can accomplish the oxidation of alkylbenzenes with the highest yields so far reported for homogeneous arene hydroxylation catalysts. Overall our data provide a proof-of-concept of how Mn(II)/H2O2/RCO2H oxidation systems are easily tunable by means of the solvent, carboxylic acid additive, and steric demand of the ligand. The chemo- and site-selectivity patterns of the current system, a negligible KIE, the observation of an NIH-shift, and the effectiveness of using tBuOOH as oxidant overall suggest that hydroxylation of aromatic C?H bonds proceeds through a metal-based mechanism, with no significant involvement of hydroxyl radicals, and via an arene oxide intermediate.
