Tris[(2-oxazolinyl)phenolato]manganese(III), Mn(phox)3, catalysed oxidation of dialkyl, diaryl, dibenzyl, and alkyl aryl sulfides to the corresponding sulfones is carried out by Oxone® in biphasic conditions (CH2Cl2/H2O), in the presence of tetra n-butylammonium bromide as phase transfer agent at room temperature in very short reaction times (5 min.) with quantitative yields  

The monoanionic bidentate Schiff base, N-(phenolyl)-benzaldimine (HL), has been employed to synthesize a new vanadium(IV) complex of general composition [VO(L)2] (where L = O, N donor of Schiff base). The ligand and complex have been fully characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance data, FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopies. Oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones was conducted by this complex catalyst using Oxone as oxidant under biphasic reaction conditions (CH2Cl2/H2O) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide as phase transfer agent under air at room temperature  

An hydrazone Schiff base-iron(III) complex using salicylidene benzoyl hydrazine (L) as ligand has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides in one-step was conducted by this complex catalyst using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in mixture of CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) under air at room temperature. The effect of the reaction conditions on the oxidation of methylphenylsulfide was studied by varying the amount of the catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time and the amount of UHP. The results showed that using this system in the oxidation of sulfides, sulfoxides were obtained as the main products,... 

The preparation and catalytic activity of molybdenum(VI) dioxido complex [MoO2L(C2H5OH)] (L = N′-[1-(2- hydroxynaphthyl)ethylidene]-2-hydroxy benzohydrazide) are reported. The reaction of the respective benzohydrazide ligand and the Mo(VI) dioxido precursor, [MoO2(acac)] (acac = acetylacetonate), in ethanol afforded the [MoO2L(C2H5OH)] complex. Structure of the complex was unequivocally established by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure of complex reveals a six coordinate molybdenum center with a distorted octahedral geometry. By using the AIM analysis, topological properties of the electron density were analyzed to define the bond path between atoms. The AIM... 

The oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with hydrogen peroxide in good yield and high selectivity has been catalyzed very effectively by a series of Schiff base salen-type iron complexes in a monophasic medium (CH 2Cl2/CH3OH) at ambient temperature. The results of the present study show that the reaction rate strongly depends on both catalyst steric effects and steric and electronic properties of sulfides. In the system, the electronic spectral studies are applied to explain the formation of a reactive (salen) Fe=O intermediate  

A mononuclear mixed ligand complex of iron, [FeIII(N-OPh-sal)(acac)EtOH], where Hacac and N-HOPh-Hsal denote acetylacetone and N-hydroxyphenyl-salicylideneamine, respectively, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral studies and X-ray crystallography. The catalytic system containing this complex and urea hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent was used to selectively oxidize a range of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides in good yields under mild conditions. The electronic spectra of the catalytic system were applied to explore reactivity and stability of the catalyst during sulfide oxidation reactions and to examine the nature of active species, as well. ©... 

A combination of periodic acid or oxone® and a catalytic amount of KBr in the presence of few drops of water, were used for the catalytic oxidation of urazoles and bis-urazoles to their corresponding triazolinediones under mild and heterogeneous conditions with moderate to excellent yields. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Hydrogen peroxide readily oxidizes phenols to the corresponding quinones in the presence of cobalt(II) acetate or manganese(II) acetate as catalyst  

Hydrogen peroxide readily oxidizes Hantzsch type 1,4-dihydropyridines in the presence of cobalt(II) acetate as catalyst at room temperature. No evidence of a dealkylation process for 4-alkyl 1,4-dihydropyridines has been observed  

The electro-catalytic oxidation of methanol on a Ni-Cu alloy (NCA) with atomic ratio of 60/40 having previously undergone 50 potential sweep cycles in the range 0-600 mV vs. (Ag/AgCl) in 1 m NaOH was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electro-oxidation was observed as large anodic peaks both in the anodic and early stages of the cathodic direction of potential sweep around 420 mV vs. (Ag/AgCl). The electro-catalytic surface was at least an order of magnitude superior to a pure nickel electrode for methanol oxidation. The diffusion coefficient and apparent rate constant of methanol oxidation were found to be 2.16 × 10-4 cm2 s-1 and... 

Two series of the novel unsymmetrical diimino tetradentate Schiff bases derived from phenylenediamine and 1,3-naphthalene diamine and their vanadyl complexes were synthesized by template and non-template methods and characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, IR, UV-Vis and elemental analysis. These complexes are used as catalysts for the selective aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene. The catalytic activity increases as the number of electron-donor groups decreases, and the catalytic selectivity is varied by changing the substituents on the ligands. The catalytic system described here is an efficient and inexpensive method for the oxidation of olefins, with the advantages of high activity, selectivity,... 

Novel vanadyl Schiff base complexes with the general formula VOLx (x = 7-18) were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical methods. Only an orange polymeric form was obtained for VOL13, both brown polymeric and green monomeric forms were obtained for VOLx, x = 16, 17. These observations suggest that in these complexes oxovanadium(IV) exhibit a coordination number of five. Systematic substitution on the ancillary ligand have allowed V(V)/V(IV) reduction potentials to be tuned over a range of approximately 130mV. The complexes are catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene. Catalytic activity increases with increasing V(V)/V(IV) reduction potential and the catalytic selectivity...
