摘要
A di-(2-pyridylmethyl) phenylamine ((PyCH2)(2)NPh) supported Cu(II)/O-2 catalytic system was explored with the synthesis of pyridylmethyl-based compounds of carboxylate (PyCOOH), amide (PyC(O)NHPh), and imine (PyCH=NPh) from the oxidative N-dealkylation of N-(2-pyridylmethyl) phenylamine (PyCH2NHPh) and its derivatives, by means of controlling the addition of a base and/or water to the reaction system under a dioxygen atmosphere at room temperature. Experimental studies showed that the imine and amide species could be precursors in succession in the way to the final oxidation state of carboxylates. A cyclic catalytic mechanism was proposed including the base triggered C-H bond activation of the 2-pyridylmethyl group (PyCH2-) and the intermolecular Cu-OOH alpha-hydrogen atom abstraction from the coordinated imine substrate (PyCH=NPh).
