Three kinds of peroxotungstates complexes such as (C5H5NC16H33)2W2O3(O2)4, [(CH3)3NC16H33]2W2O3(O2)4, [(C7H7NC12H25(CH3)2]2W2O3(O2)4, had been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TG-DSC and UV-Vis. Their catalytic properties in oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by aqueous 30(wt.) % H2O2 were investigated with ionic liquids such as [bmim]BF4, [bmim]PF6 or [omim]BF4 as a solvent. The results show (C5H5NC16H33)2W2O3(O2)4 catalyst exhibits best activity in above catalysts. The oxidation of benzyl alcohol (10 mmol) with 30% H2O2 (11 mmol) catalyzed by (C5H5NC16H33)2W2O3(O2)4 (0.1 mmol) in [bmim]BF4 at 90oC for 3 h gave 68% yield of benzaldehyde, we found that the reaction system became a homogeneous solution when ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 was added to the oil-water biphasic system, and turned to biphasic systems again after completion of the reaction, which make the separation of product more convenient. In addition, Benzaldehyde can be obtained in 58% yield and 34% in [bmim]PF6 and [omim]BF4, respectively. |
