摘要
Gold(III) and gold(I) complexes, NaAuCl4 and ClAuPPh3, efficiently catalyse the oxidation of alkanes by H2O2 in acetonitrile solution at 75 degreesC. Turnover numbers (TONs) attain 520 after 144 h. Alkyl hydroperoxides are the main products, whereas ketones (aldehydes) and alcohols are formed in smaller concentrations. It is suggested on the basis of the bond selectivity study that at least one of the pathways in Au-catalysed alkane hydroperoxidation does not involve the participation of free hydroxyl radicals. Possibly, the oxidation begins from the alkane hydrogen atom abstraction by a gold oxo species. The oxidation of cyclooctane by air at room temperature catalysed by NaAuCl4 in the presence of Zn/CH3COOH as a reducing agent and methylviologen as an electron-transfer agent gave cyclooctanol (TON = 10).
