Abstract
Herein we introduce a new glycine-bisphenol molybdenum(VI) complex, SBA@AP-GDC-Mo, immobilized on ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous) as an efficient and selective heterogenous catalyst. SBA@AP-GDC-Mo was fully characterized by Fourier transform-infra red (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission-transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms. The catalytic performance of SBA@AP-GDC-Mo was evaluated in the chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones and found to be superior to our previously reported diamine–bisphenol molybdenum(VI) catalyst. The advantages of SBA@AP-GDC-Mo include high activity and better chemoselectivity under mild and eco-friendly conditions (e.g., ambient temperature using aqueous or aqueous–ethanolic solutions), recyclable for at least four cycles and easier overall synthesis in good yields including tethering of the ligand to the support.
