- Description: publisher version , A set of eight-membered benzannelated heterocycles containing two heteroatoms (O,O, NR,NR and O,NR where R=protecting group) was synthesized by ring-closing metathesis from the corresponding ortho-bis-allyl precursors. In this manner, 7-methoxy-2,5-dihydro-1,6-benzodioxocine, 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-1,6-benzodiazocines, 5,6-dihydro-2H-1,6-benzoxazocines and 5,6,9,10-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-b][1,4]diazocine were synthesized. A number of these compounds were then treated with the catalyst [RuClH(CO)(PPh3)3] to facilitate isomerization of the alkene into conjugation with the heteroatoms in the eight-membered ring. Quite surprisingly, an equal ratio of regioisomers was obtained, even if the heteroatoms were different.

- Description: The reaction between [VIVOSO4] and the tetradentate N2O2-donor Schiff base ligand, N,N-bis(o-hydroxybenzaldehyde)phenylenediamine (sal-HBPD), obtained by the condensation of salicylaldehyde and o-phenylenediamine in a molar ratio of 2 : 1 respectively, resulted in the formation of [VIVO(sal-HBPD)]. The molecular structure of [VIVO(sal-HBPD)] was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and confirmed the distorted square pyramidal geometry of the complex with the N2O2 binding mode of the tetradentate ligand. The formation of the polymer-supported p[VIVO(sal-AHBPD)] proceeded via the nitrosation of sal-HBPD, followed by the reduction with hydrogen to form an amine group that was then linked to Merrifield beads followed by the reaction with [VIVOSO4]. XPS and EPR were used to confirm the presence of oxovanadium(IV) within the beads. The BET surface area and porosity of the heterogeneous catalyst p[VIVO(sal-AHBPD)] were found to be 6.9 m2 g−1 and 180.8 Å respectively. Microanalysis, TG, UV-Vis and FT-IR were used for further characterization of both [VIVO(sal-HBPD)] and p[VIVO(sal-AHBPD)]. Oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) was investigated using [VIVO(sal-HBPD)] and p[VIVO(sal-AHBPD)] as catalysts. Progress for oxidation of these model compounds was monitored with a gas chromatograph fitted with a flame ionization detector. The oxidation products were characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, microanalysis and NMR. Dibenzothiophene sulfone (DBTO2) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene sulfone (4,6-DMDBTO2) were found to be the main products of oxidation. Oxovanadium(IV) Schiff base microspherical beads, p[VIVO(sal-AHBPD)], were able to catalyse the oxidation of sulfur in dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) to a tune of 88.0% and 71.8% respectively after 3 h at 40 °C. These oxidation results show promise for potential application of this catalyst in the oxidative desulfurization of crude oils.
