Surveying Iron–Organic Framework TAL-1-Derived Materials in Ligandless Heterogeneous Oxidative Catalytic Transformations of Alkylarenes

Published as part of the Special Section 10th EuCheMS Organic Division Young Investigator Workshop

Abstract

The use of carbonized materials derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in catalytic organic transformations is less well explored than is the use of MOFs. Here, we survey the oxidative performance of heterogeneous catalyst materials derived from the polycrystalline iron–organic framework TAL-1.

Key words

iron catalysis - oxidation - sustainable chemistry - metal–organic framework - alkyl arenes - carboxylic acids

It was then filtered through a Celite pad with MeOH. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure then purified by flash chromatography [silica gel, EtOAc–PE (1:20 to 1:10)] to give a colorless solid; yield: 57.2 mg (0.317 mmol, 38%); mp 296–297 °C. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 13.18 (s, 2 H), 8.28 (s, 1 H), 7.98 (s, 2 H), 2.43 (s, 3 H). ¹³C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 166.7, 138.8, 133.9, 131.2, 127.3, 20.6.
