Окиснення циклічних кетонів H2O2, каталізоване координаційними полімерами Cu(II) та Fe(III)

It has been shown that the oxidation of ketones – analogs of cyclohexanone – by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Cu3(btc)2 (btc3- = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) occurred mainly by the radical mechanism, rather than by the Baeyer-Villiger reaction mechanism, and led to a mixture of products formed due to the ring cleavage and reduction of the hydrocarbon chain length. Unlike aliphatic ketones, α-tetralone hardly underwent conversion in the reaction with H2O2 in the presence of HKUST-1, and the oxidation of the same ketone in the presence of Fe2(OH)3(btc) led to the formation of a number of products; among them, 1,4-naphthoquinone was dominant.
