MIL-101 metal–organic framework: A highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for oxidative cleavage of alkenes with H2O2

Highly efficient oxidative cleavage of alkenes and cyanosilylation of aldehydes catalysed by magnetically recoverable MIL‐101

“…MIL‐101 has outstanding features including hierarchical pore structure, mesoporous cages, numerous unsaturated chromium(III) sites and high hydrothermal and chemical stability which make it a promising material for a wide range of applications. Especially, the pores of MIL‐101 and chromium nodes lead to specific catalytic applications such as in the production of carboxylic acids and ketones by catalytic oxidation of alkenes, cyanosilylation of aldehydes, benzylic oxidation of tetralin, sulfoxidation of thioethers with H 2 O 2 and allylic oxidation of alkenes with tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide …”

Metal–Organic Frameworks as Catalysts for Oxidation Reactions

“…For example, am aximum TOF of 12.88 h À1 was achieved for oxidationo f1dodecene to undecanoic acid. [46] Oxidation of (Cyclo)Alkanes This sectionh ighlights developments in the field of liquidphase oxidation of (cyclo)alkanes by using MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts or supports in the presence of oxidizing agents. Efforts are made to summarize the catalytic activities in terms of TON or TOF along with conversionsa nd selectivities data.…”

“…Linear alkenes also underwent oxidative C=C cleavage under the optimized conditions to their corresponding carboxylic acids. For example, a maximum TOF of 12.88 h −1 was achieved for oxidation of 1‐dodecene to undecanoic acid …”

Efficient synthesis of glutaric acid from L-glutamic acid via diazoniation/hydrogenation sequence

“…Meanwhile, the chemical synthesis of I has emerged as a further option, having been synthesised by the catalytic oxidation of cyclopentene (Orita et al, 1986;Choudary et al, 1991;Antonelli et al, 1998;Griffith et al, 2000;Wang & Dai, 2002;Griffith & Kwong, 2003;Chen et al, 2006aChen et al, , 2006bChe et al, 2006;Shoair & Mahamed, 2006;Saedi et al, 2012aSaedi et al, , 2012b, 1,5-pentanediol (Iwahama et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2007;Balaraman et al, 2013), 1,3-cyclohexanedione (Yuan & Zhao, 2010;Tachikawa et al, 2013), dihydropyran (English & Dayan, 1957), tetrahydropyran (Smith & Scarborough, 1980), 2-cyclohexenone (Travis et al, 2002), cyclopentane-1,2- (Gao et al, 2009), or glutaraldehyde (Chu et al, 2012), by the acidic hydrolysis of glutaronitrile (Marvel & Tuley, 1925), by γ-butyrolactone (Paris et al, 1957) or by electrosynthesis (Lyalin & Petrosyan, 2009). However, all these methods entailed the use of expensive substrates or catalysts, harsh conditions or toxic reagents.…”
