Zusammenfassung: | Non-heme manganese(II) complexes [(IndH)MnIICl2] (1) and [(N4Py*)MnII(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (2) with tridentate isoindoline and pentadentate polypyridyl ligands (IndH = 1,3-bis(2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline; N4Py* = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2- di(2-pyridyl)ethylamine) proved to be suitable to catalyze the oxidative demethylation of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) with various oxidants such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), peracetic acid (PAA), and meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), resulting N-methylaniline (MA) as a main product with N-methylformanilide (MFA) as a result of a free-radical chain process under air. The effect of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring on the relative reactivity of the substrates and on the product composition (MA/MFA) was also studied and showed a significant impact on the catalytic N-demethylation reaction. Based on the Hammett correlation with ρ = −0.38 (PAA), −0.45 (mCPBA), and −0.63 (TBHP) for 1 and ρ = −0.38 (PAA) and −0.37 (mCPBA) for 2, an electrophilic intermediate is suggested as the key oxidant. Furthermore, the spectral investigation (UV-Vis) resulted in direct evidence for the formation of a high-valent oxomanganese(IV) and a transient radical cation intermediate, p-Me-DMA•+, suggesting that the initial step in the manganese-catalyzed oxidations is a fast electron-transfer between the amine and the high valent oxometal species. The mechanisms of the subsequent steps are discussed. |
