Abstract(s)
A simple and mild (room temperature) process for oxidation of o-, m- or p-xylene to the corresponding methylbenzyl alcohols, tolualdehydes and toluic acids, using H2O2 (30% aqueous solution) and the iron(II) C-scorpionate [FeCl2{κ3-HC(pz)3}] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) catalyst is presented. Remarkably, after 5 min of reaction an overall oxygenates yield of 22% (TOF = 1.3 × 102 h−1) was obtained. The effects of reaction parameters, such as reaction time, temperature, amount of catalyst, type and amount of oxidant are reported and discussed.
