Abstract

The hydroxylation of phenol to hydroquinone and catechol was catalyzed by complexes of copper(II) i.e., Me6[14]N4dieneCu(ClO4)2 and Me6[14]N4aneCu(ClO4)2 using H2O2 as oxidant and DMF as solvent. In the presence of the catalysts, the 37.7 % phenol conversion was obtained with 57.7 % selectivity to diphenol for Me6[14]N4dieneCu(ClO4)2 and 35.2 % phenol conversion was obtained with 45.2 % selectivity to diphenol for Me6[14]N4aneCu(ClO4)2 under the optimum reaction.
