Preliminary Studies On Bifuctional Reaction Of Olefins And Oxidation Of Benzyl Diketones

The oxidation of olefins has always been the focus in the research of organicchemistry. Chemists make every effort to introduce new oxidation systems; theycontinuously modify the original oxidation systems in order to improve the catalyticeffects. Recently, with the rise of green chemistry, a lot of chemists pay attention tomake the oxidations systems meet the requirements of the green chemistry.We report in this thesis that aryl olefins were oxidized by 1.5-2.0 equiv of H2O2in acetic acid, catalyzed by 0.02-0.04 equiv of RuCl3, It could selectively oxidize arylolefins into aryl glycol monoesters in the presence of alkyl group-substituted olefins.The yield is generally more than 50%. On this basis, we did a lot of further researches,the oxidation is applied to the conjugated alkenes in order to study the oxidationeffects. Other solvent were also tried in our experiment.Besides, we have made preliminary exploration to the oxidation ofβ-diketones.The oxidation reaction proceeded in water. Our methods have some successful resultsbut further related-research is still required.
