Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a platform green oxidant for high-value chemical synthesis, but its centralized production hinders its widespread use in a safe manner. Here, we describe a practical tandem electro-thermochemical H2O2-mediated oxygenation platform for the synthesis of various high-value oxygen-containing compounds. The integration of solid-electrolyte H2O2 electrosynthesis with heterogeneous zeolite thermocatalysis enables atom-efficient oxygenations without the need for downstream electrolytes or catalysts separation. A spatially decoupled tandem system integrating aqueous H2O2 electrosynthesis with nonaqueous thermocatalysis offers independent optimization capabilities, thus maximizing the overall space–time yield (STY). With microfluidic packed-bed intensification for heterogeneous thermocatalysis, this tandem system achieved H2O2-mediated oxygenation of thioesters to sulfoxide at a high current density (300 mA cm−2) and STY (7.07 mmol cm−3 h−1). Furthermore, the platform's broad applicability was showcased with titanium-silicalite-1 zeolite catalyzed olefin epoxidation and cyclohexanone oxime synthesis, underscoring its potential for diverse catalytic oxygenation applications.
过氧化氢(H2O2)是高价值化工合成的平台型绿色氧化剂,但其集中生产阻碍了其安全广泛应用。在这里,我们描述了一个实用的串联电-热化学h2o2介导的氧化平台,用于合成各种高值含氧化合物。固体电解质H2O2电合成与非均相沸石热催化相结合,无需下游电解质或催化剂分离,即可实现原子高效氧合。将水相H2O2电合成与非水相热催化相结合的空间解耦串联系统提供了独立的优化能力,从而最大化了整体时空产率(STY)。采用微流控填料床强化非均相热催化技术,该串联系统在高电流密度(300 mA cm - 2)和高速度(7.07 mmol cm - 3 h - 1)下实现了硫酯在h2o2介导下氧化生成亚砜。此外,该平台的广泛适用性在钛-硅-1沸石催化烯烃环氧化和环己酮肟合成中得到了展示,强调了其在多种催化氧化应用中的潜力。
