摘要

Attaining the selective oxidation of isochroman into isochromanone in a molecular oxygen (O2) environment without any additives, via a heterogeneous oxidation process, is highly desirable and challenging work. Herein, we prepare two mixed-addendum polyoxometalate-based coordination polymers of the general formula [HxM1-x(i-Pr-Im)4][H2N(CH3)2]4[HPMo8V6O42] (M = Co 1, Ni, 2; i-Pr-Im = 1-isopropyl-1H-imidazole). Needing no additives, they can catalyze the selective oxidation of isochroman to isochromanone with O2 as an oxidant, with yields of 91.5% (1) and 46.8% (2), respectively. Mechanistic studies indicate that the excellent performance of catalyst 1 is attributed to the synergistic operation of [Co(i-Pr-Im)4)] complex and PMo8V6 unit, and that the catalytic reaction is a radical pathway involving superoxide radicals. Additionally, the catalyst 1 can be recycled and reused at least four times with uncompromised performance. These results provide fundamental guidelines for designing efficient and multi-site heterogeneous catalysts for the selective oxidation of benzyl C(sp3)-H bonds by activating O2.
