Abstract:

With H2O2 as oxidant, a series of heteropolyphosphatotungstate ionic liquids was used to catalyze the selective oxidation of cyclopentene(CPE) to prepare glutaraldehyde(GA). Among these catalysts, [π-C5H5NC16H33]3PW4O16 exhibited the best catalytic activity. PW4O163- easily combined with H2O2 to form W—O—O—W. Using [π-C5H5NC16H33]3PW4O16 as catalyst, the effects of the amount of catalyst, molar ratio of H2O2 to CPE, type and dosage of solvent, reaction temperature and reaction time on the catalytic behavior were investigated and discussed, respectively. The results show the best reaction conditions as follows: 5 mL of ethyl acetate, n(Cat.)∶n(H2O2)∶n(CPE)=0.03∶50∶33, 35 ℃, 18 h. The conversion of cyclopentene could reach 100%, and the yield of glutaraldehyde was 87%. After the reaction, the catalyst could automatically precipitate from the reaction liquid. After the upper liquid was poured out, the remaining catalyst could be directly reused by the addition of fresh reactants. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the recycling efficiency of the catalyst [π-C5H5NC16H33]3PW4O16 was investigated. Because the structure of the catalyst didn’t change before and after reaction by the analysis of FTIR spectra, [π-C5H5NC16H33]3PW4O16 has exhibited a good recyclability. After 7 recycles, the yield of glutaraldehyde was still above 80%.
