Aerobic Co-/N-Hydroxysuccinimide-Catalyzed Oxidation of p-Tolylsiloxanes to p-Carboxyphenylsiloxanes: Synthesis of Functionalized Siloxanes as Promising Building Blocks for Siloxane-Based Materials
2019
Synthesis of organosilicon products with a “polar” functional group within organic substituents is one of the most fundamentally and practically important challenges in today’s chemistry of silicones. In our study, we suggest a solution to this problem, viz., a high-efficiency preparative method based on aerobic Co-/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHSI) catalyzed oxidation of p-tolylsiloxanes to p-carboxyphenylsiloxanes. This approach is based on “green”, commercially available, simple, and inexpensive reagents and employs mild reaction conditions: Co(OAc)2/NHSI catalytic system, O2 as the oxidant, process temperature from 40 to 60 °C, atmospheric pressure. This reaction is general and allows for synthesizing both mono- and di-, tri-, and poly(p-carboxyphenyl)siloxanes with p-carboxyphenyl groups at 1,1-, 1,3-, 1,5-, and 1,1,1-positions. All the products were obtained and isolated in gram amounts (up to 5 g) and in high yields (80–96%) and characterized by NMR, ESI-HRMS, GPC, IR, and X-ray data: p-carboxyphenylsilo...
