Abstract
A study of the air oxidation of 4-methyl catechol catalyzed by simple copper-amine complexes was performed in aqueous solutions at pH = 6.5. Simple bi-, tri- and tetra-nitrogen ligands were complexed to Cu 2+ ions. Initial rate kinetics of their catalytic oxidation of 4-methyl catechol was followed optically. Proton NMR linebroadening and optical spectral studies were performed on the Cu 2+-amine-catechol solutions and these spectral data were correlated with the kinetic studies.
