Selective oxidation of alkenes catalysed by ruthenium(II) complexes containing coordinated perchlorate

TLDR
In this paper, the selective homogeneous oxidation of cyclohexene with TBHP and H2O2 as oxidizing agents was investigated. And the results showed that TBHP was more effective than H 2 O 2 as an oxidizing agent.
Abstract
Ruthenium(II) perchlorate complexes, [Ru(dppm)3(ClO4)]ClO4 1, [Ru(dppe)3(ClO4)]ClO4 2, and [Ru(dpae)3(ClO4)]ClO4 3, catalyse the selective homogeneous oxidation of alkenes with TBHP and H2O2 as oxidizing agents. Oxidation of cyclohexene with TBHP gave 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, 2-cyclohexenone and 1-(tert-butylperoxy)-2-cyclohexene. The homogeneous liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene with TBHP shows appreciable solvent effect. Styrene on oxidation with TBHP gave benzaldehyde as the major product and styrene oxide as the minor product. Oxidation with H2O2 is radical-initiated and gives low conversion to products. TBHP and H2O2 are compared for their oxidizing ability and TBHP is more effective than H2O2 as an oxidizing agent. Linear and long chain alkenes are not efficiently oxidized. Cyclooctene and trans-stilbene are oxidized to the corresponding epoxides.

Dimeric copper(II) tetracarboxylates as catalysts in the selective epoxidation of styrene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the synthesis, UV-Vis spectral behavior and catalytic properties of six tetracarboxylate complexes of the type [Cu2(µ-O2CR)4L2] and show that these complexes retain their dinuclear integrity in solution and therefore they have been investigated as homogenous catalysts for styrene epoxidation.
