- Studies on calcined cow bone and pyrolyzed wood, suitable supports for immobilizing hybrid nano particles of Co-Mn as new catalysts for oxidation of 2,6-diisopropyl naphthalene
-
Catalytic oxidation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) to 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (2,6-NDCA) was studied with two new catalysts prepared by immobilization of Co/Mn nano-hybrid particles over calcined cow bone, and pyrolyzed wood. The catalysts have the advantage of very cheap supports, and easy catalyst recovery. The effects of Co/Mn atomic ratio, reaction time and temperature, oxygen pressure, amount of catalyst, and the support on the conversion of 2,6-DIPN and product/intermediate yields were investigated. There was an interesting synergistic effect of cobalt and manganese catalysts. The maximum product (2,6-NDCA) yield was 100%, obtained at a Co/Mn atomic ratio of 10 supported on pyrolyzed wood. Lower cobalt concentration resulted the lower 2,6-NDCA yield, which was ascribed to the intermediate products formation. The catalysts were characterized in detail by SEM/EDS, BET surface area, and TEM measurements. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements indicated nanoparticles (diameter of about 2-5 nm) on the surface of the supports.

- Copper (II) chloride / tetrabutylammonium bromide catalyzed oxidation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and 4,4′-diisopropylbiphenyl
-
The oxidation processes of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and 4,4′-diisopropylbiphenyl with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst, composed of copper(II) chloride and tetrabutylammonium bromide, were investigated. It was found that, in essence, only one isopropyl group undergoes oxidation, and obtained mixtures contained mainly peroxide, alcohol, ketone and only small amounts of hydroperoxide.

- Synthesis of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid from 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene using NHPI as a key catalyst
-
A new strategy to 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNPA) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid from 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and p-cymene, respectively, was developed using the NHPI-catalyzed aerobic oxidation as a principal reaction. 2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene was oxidized by the oxidation with O2 (1 atm) by NHPI (10 mol %) combined with Co(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %) to give 6-acetyl-2-isopropylnaphthalene, which then was converted to 6-isopropyl-2-naphthoic acid under O2 (1 atm) in the presence of Co(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %) and Mn(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %). Esterification of the resulting acid followed by the aerobic oxidation produced methyl 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoate whose hydrolysis led to the desired HNPA. An alternative route involves the oxidation of 6-acetyl-2-isopropylnaphthalene to 6-acetyl-2-naphthol on which subsequent oxidation and deacetylation gave HNPA. This method was successfully extended to the synthesis of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid from p-cymene.
