New thiosemicarbazide and dithiocarbazate based oxidovanadium() and dioxidovanadium() complexes. Reactivity and catalytic potential
The Schiff bases {H 3 dfmp-(smdt) 2 } ( I ), {H 3 dfmp-(sbdt) 2 } ( II ) and {H 3 dfmp-(tsc) 2 } ( III ) are synthesized by reaction of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol (H 3 dfmp) and S -methyldithiocarbazate (smdt), S -benzyldithiocarbazate (sbdt) and thiosemicarbazide (tsc), respectively. Addition of [...

) and {H

S
-methyldithiocarbazate (smdt),
S
-benzyldithiocarbazate (sbdt) and thiosemicarbazide (tsc), respectively. Addition of [V

V NMR and thermal studies. IR spectral data confirm the coordination of ligands through the azomethine nitrogen, the sulphur and the phenolic oxygen atoms to the metal. These complexes show excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and ethylbenzene in the presence of H

was also remarkably efficient and selective in the catalytic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehyde/ketone, as well as of several aromatic compounds such as toluene, benzene, cumene and tetralin.
The new thiosemicarbazide and dithiocarbazate based vanadium complexes show remarkable catalytic potential for oxidation of alcohols and simple arenes. |
