2,5-Diformylfuran (DFF) is a multifunctional intermediate, which can be used in drugs, functional polymers, fluorescent materials and surfactants. In this paper, a TEMPO-assisted magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@mSiO2-NH2-Cu(II) catalytic system was developed for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran. The structure of Fe3O4@SiO2@mSiO2-NH2-Cu(II) was double-layer shell-core spherical structure with uniform ordered mesoporous on the surface, amino groups and Cu were evenly distributed in the outer mesoporous. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, TEM, EDS, SEM, x-ray diffraction, BET and VSM. The effects of reaction conditions were studied in detail. The conversion of HMF was 98.9% and the highest DFF yield was 92.4% under atm. oxygen in toluene solvent. The catalytic activity did not decrease significantly after 5 cycles. The catalytic system had good substrate adaptability for benzyl alcs. and aromatic alcs. with satisfactory yield of corresponding aldehydes (91.3-100%). A possible reaction mechanism was also proposed and found that bis(μ-hydroxy) double copper (II) may be the active reactant in oxidation reaction. The system provides a promising industrialized preparation method for DFF. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5Recommanded Product: 105-13-5).
(4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. Ethers feature bent C–O–C linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111° and C–O distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C–O bonds is low. The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.Recommanded Product: 105-13-5
