    INTERACTION OF MOLECULAR-OXYGEN WITH AMINOPHENOLS MEDIATED BY COPPER METAL AND COPPER-COMPOUNDS

    No full text
    Several copper compounds (Cu, Cu2O, CuO, CuCl and CuCl2) have been used as catalysts for the oxidation of 2-, 3- and 4-aminophenol with O2 at 25-degrees-C; a comparison of their activities was made through kinetic determinations. The oxidation of 2-aminophenol selectively produced 2-amino-phenoxazin-3-one (1), whereas the oxidation products of 3- and 4-aminophenol were two new compounds, 2-amino-5 [(3-hydroxyphenyl)amino]-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione (3) and 3-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)amino]-4-[(2-amino-5-hydroxy)phenyl]-6-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)imino]-2, 4-cyclohexadien-1-one (2)

    The use of copper catalysts in the hydrogen transfer reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone

    Several low loading supported catalysts were tested in the hydrogen transfer reduction of 4-tert-butyl-cyclohexanone showing good activity under very mild conditions (2-propanol as solvent, 83 C, N2). Results obtained by using different alcohols as donors suggest that a two step dehydrogenation-hydrogenation mechanism is operating over Cu/SiO2

    Heterogeneous selective catalytic hydrogenation of aryl ketones to alcohols without additives

    No full text
    A selective hydrogenation of different aryl ketones can be obtained by using a heterogeneous copper catalyst under very mild experimental conditions, namely 90 C and 1 atm of hydrogen, without using any kind of additive or poisoning agent. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
