Aerobic oxidation and oxidative bromination in aqueous medium using polymer anchored oxovanadium complex

摘要

Polymer anchored oxovanadium catalyst was synthesized and characterized. Its catalytic activity was evaluated for the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols with molecular oxygen under mild reaction conditions. This catalyst was also effective for the oxidative bromination reaction of organic substrates with 90-100% selectivity of mono substituted products with H_2O_2/KBr at room temperature. The above reactions require low temperature, short time period and most importantly all the above reactions occur in aqueous medium. The developed catalyst can be facilely recovered and reused six times without significant decrease in activity and selectivity.
