Abstract

Functionalized Copper(II) complex into nano dimensional mesoreactor was successfully prepared. The Copper(II) complex with N–O donor Schiff base ligand was readily trapped into mesoporous silica MCM-41 through the post grafting method. N–O Chelating Schiff-base-MCM-41 has been derived from 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane which was functionalized on MCM-41 via silicon alkoxide route. This compound was characterized by FT-IR, TGA, small angle X-ray diffraction patterns, ICP/MS analysis and N2 sorption–desorption analysis. The catalytic property of Cu–salen–MCM-41 was considered for the preparation of disulfides using urea hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The reaction progress is simple and proceeds under mild and heterogeneous conditions in acetonitrile at the ambient of temperature. The corresponding disulfides have been achieved with high purity and good to excellent yields; also, no over oxidation to sulfoxide or sulfone was observed in all cases. The catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without significant loss of stability and activity.
