Abstract
Ionic liquid tagged salen ligands containing two proximal 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium ionic liquid cores form cobalt(III) complexes capable of selectively oxidizing veratryl alcohol, a lignin model compound, to veratraldehyde using air or pure oxygen as the source of oxygen. Entrainment of these catalysts in either 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [bmim][PF6], or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bistriflimide, [bmim][NTf2], hydrophobic ionic liquid solvents, results in biphasic reactions when water is used as the second solvent allowing the catalyst/ionic liquid phase to be recycled.
