Abstract
The Copper complexes with 1,10-phenanthrolines and 1,10- phenanthrolines-5,6-diones were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectra. One complex was characterized by X-ray analysis. The complexes turned out to be active in oxidations of cyclic, branched and linear alkanes. Hydrogen peroxide (50%) was used as an oxidant. The reactions were carried out in solvent acetonitrile at relatively the low temperatures (40–60 °C). Alkyl hydroperoxides are the primary products which partly decompose in the course of the reaction to produce mainly ketones (aldehydes) and alcohols. Treating the reaction mixture with PPh3 leads to the transformation of alkyl hydroperoxides (ROOH) to corresponding alcohols (ROH).
