Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Catalyzed Chemoselective Oxidation of Benzylic Alcohols and Diarylmethanes in Water

Abstract: We report the highly efficient and chemoselective oxidation of benzylic alcohols catalyzed by sodium copper chlorophyllin in water, producing corresponding arylcarbonyl compounds. Importantly, the catalytic system exhibits a wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. Moreover, secondary alcohols and even diarylmethanes were smoothly oxidized to the desired aryl ketones with excellent yields.

“…BzAld may undergo H‐abstraction giving benzoyl radicals (RC · –O in Equations 8, 9), which are oxidized to BzAcid [RC(=O)OH in Equation 9]. Alternative mechanisms were proposed for copper complexes as homogeneous catalysts, such as that reported by Liu et al involving a (relatively bulky) pentacyclic transition‐state formed between the metal center and the oxidant and BzOH molecules, albeit this type of pathway may be sterically hindered for the copper silicates 1 and 2 .…”

“…Chlorophyllin copper complex (Chln‐Cu) is of the semisynthetic compounds obtained from alkaline hydrolysis of chlorophyll molecule [7–9]. Chln‐Cu is a thermally and chemically stable complex used in combination with TiO 2 as a sensitizer [10], chemoselective oxidation of benzylic alcohols [11], radical transfer polymerization catalyst [9], degradation of organic pollutants [12], and oxygen reduction reaction [13].…”

“…[18][19][20][21][22] Nonetheless, the utilization of SCC as a photosensitizer in organic reactions has yet to be investigated thoroughly. 23,24 A drawback of using chlorophyll as photosensitizer is its instability under thermally or photochemically conditions. There are many reports that show the thermal and photochemical instability of chlorophylls and isolation/characterization of their degradation pathways/products.…”
