Treatment of Cu(OAc)2路4H2O with 8-hydroxylquinoline-imine ligands [2-(ArN = Hc)-8-OH]C9H5N (Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3, L1H; Ar = 4-ClC6H4, L2H; Ar = 4-BrC6H4, L3H and Ar = 4-OMeC6H4, L4H) in refluxing EtOH gave the dual-ligand coordinated copper complexes [L2Cu] (1a–1d) in good yields, resp. All the four Cu complexes were characterized by IR, EPR, elemental anal. and HR-MS. Furthermore, the mol. structures of 1a and 1d were further confirmed by x-ray crystallog. anal. These complexes displayed high catalytic activity and good selectivity for aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary alcs. in the presence of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl) as the co-catalyst. The yields of desired aldehydes are decent (up to 84%) and the corresponding yields of ketones are at 78-91%. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Chlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 873-76-7Computed Properties of C7H7ClO).
(4-Chlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 873-76-7) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are weak acids. The most acidic simple alcohols (methanol and ethanol) are about as acidic as water, and most other alcohols are somewhat less acidic. A multistep synthesis may use Grignard-like reactions to form an alcohol with the desired carbon structure, followed by reactions to convert the hydroxyl group of the alcohol to the desired functionality.Computed Properties of C7H7ClO
