Abstract

Mn(III) complexes of meso-tetra(o,o′-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin, tetra-tert-butyl-tetraazaporphine and 3,5-octanitrophthalocyanine are efficient catalysts of naphthalene oxidation by peracetic acid in acetonitrile solution. The pathways of the reaction and the nature of intermediates and final products depend on the catalyst structure. For meso-tetra(o,o′-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin MnCl and tetra-tert-butyl-tetraazaporphine MnCl the single primary oxidation product is 1-naphthol. For 3,5-octanitrophthalocyanine MnCl, two pathways of naphthalene oxidation yielding 1-naphthol (as the primary product) and 1,4-naphthoquinone are proposed. The pathway of 1,4-naphthoquinone formation in the 3,5-octanitrophthalocyanine MnCl-catalysed reaction seems to involve two intermediates, 1,4-endo-peroxy-1,4-dihydro- and 2,3-epoxy-1,4-endo-peroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.

It is obvious that different oxidants may yield different products of NfOH oxidatio n. Indeed, it was recently shown [7] that KHSO5 oxidizes 1-naphthol derivatives to the corresponding para-quinones in rather good yields under experimental conditions similar to ours (aqueous acetonitrile, substituted Mn(III)meso-tetraarylporphyrins as catalysts) .

Taking into account that epoxides (e. g. trans- and cis-stilbene epoxides) were found to be unstable under the conditions of HPLC analysis, we believe that the unknown polar peak in the HPLC chromatograms belongs to the product of intermediate 3 transformation on Separon C18 . Google Scholar
