Abstract(s)
The catalytic activity of the iron(II) C-scorpionate complexes [FeCl2{HC(pz)3}] 1 (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) and [FeCl2{HOCH2C(pz)3}] 2, and of their precursor FeCl2·2H2O 3, towards cyclohexane oxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide was evaluated and compared in different media: acetonitrile, ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [bmim][PF6], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, [bmim][FAP]), supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), and scCO2/[bmim][X] (X = PF6 or FAP) mixtures. The use of such alternative solvents led to efficient and selective protocols for the oxidation of cyclohexane. Moreover, tuning the alcohol/ketone selectivity was possible by choosing the suitable solvent.
