Abstract
The IBS/oxone catalyst system has been improved for selective alcohol oxidation at near-room temperature (30 °C), overcoming the limitations of the conventional high-temperature (70 °C) method. An NMR spectroscopy analysis identified the rate-determining step, leading to the development of optimized conditions based on the pre-generation of IBS(III) and a phase-transfer catalyst. These improvements enhanced the functional-group tolerance and substrate scope, including thermally unstable, acid-sensitive, or overoxidation-prone alcohols. Furthermore, the system was successfully applied to one-pot oxidative esterification reactions, demonstrating its versatility and synthetic utility in mild oxidation processes.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
