C3-Symmetric Ti(IV) Triphenolate Amino Complexes as Sulfoxidation Catalysts with Aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide
journal contribution
posted on 2007-01-04, 00:00 authored by Myriam Mba, Leonard J. Prins, Giulia LiciniThe Ti(IV) complex 2c bearing a C3-symmetric triphenolate amine ligand is an air and moisture tolerant complex that efficiently catalyzes
sulfoxidation reactions at room temperature without previous activation (catalyst loading down to 0.01%, TONs up to 8000, TOFs up to 1700 h-1,
quantitative yields). Reactions were performed with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, which adds value to the methodology from the
environmental viewpoint.
