Abstract

Abstract : An efficient Cu(i )/MOF ligand catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation system was developed utilizing the ligand at room temperature. Abstract : An efficient Cu(i )-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation system was developed utilizing a novel metal–organic framework (MOF) ligand at room temperature. Several relatively inert secondary alcohols were converted to their corresponding ketones in high yields and selectivities in the presence of a Cu(i ) catalyst and air as the oxidant. This newly developed Cu(i )/MOF ligand system can also be easily extended to the aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols including aliphatic ones. Furthermore, the MIL-101-N-2-pyc ligand can be recycled several times without compromising reaction activity.
