Abstract

Oxygenated products from selective hydrocarbon oxidation have high commercial value as industrial feedstocks. One of the most important industrial processes is the cyclohexane oxidation to produce cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. These organic substances have special importance in the Nylon manufacture as well as building blocks for a variety of commercially useful products. In this work we present the synthesis and characterization of a new mononuclear piperazine-derived series of iron(III) complexes and their catalytic activity towards cyclohexane oxidation essays. All complexes present octahedral high-spin iron(III) center according to elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-VIS and Mössbauer spectroscopy characterization. The cyclohexane oxidation resulted in cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and cyclohexyl hydroperoxide as products, with yields up to 39%. The best results were obtained with the complex (NH4)[Fe(BPPZ)Cl2] (BPPZ: lithium 1,4-bis(propanoate)piperazine) and with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The reactions were carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, which incomes a great advantage over the current industrial process of cyclohexane production.
