Abstract

The use of mononuclear Cu(II) 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenantroline complexes as catalysts in the oxidation of benzene, using hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant in CH3CN/H2O solution is presented. The reactions were carried out at 25 and at 50 °C. The complexes [Cu(bipy)3]Cl2 · 6H2O (1), [Cu(bipy)2Cl]Cl · 5H2O (2), [Cu(bipy)Cl2] (3), [Cu(phen)3]Cl2 · 7H2O (4), [Cu(phen)2Cl]Cl · 5H2O (5), [Cu(phen)Cl2] (6) were able to oxidize benzene into phenol, hydroquinone and p-benzoquinone. Highest conversion (22%) was obtained using [Cu(Phen)Cl2] (6) as catalyst.
