Bis(macrocyclic) copper(II) complexes containing aromatic nitrogen-nitrogen linkers produced by in situ one pot template condensation reaction (IOPTCR):Synthesis,characterization and catalytic oxidation of tetrahydrofuran

摘要

Bis(macrocyclic)dicopper(II) complexes containing phenylene bridges between 13-membered triaza dioxa macrocyclic subunits have been synthesized via in situ one pot template condensation reaction (IOPTCR) of aromatic nitrogen-nitrogen linker,formaldehyde and (l,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane)copper(II) in a 1:4:2 molar ratio.These complexes are found to be effective catalysts for oxidation of tetrahydrofuran with H_2O_2 as oxidant.
