摘要:

环氧化物作为精细化工生产中的关键中间体, 在医药、材料、香料等领域具有广泛应用, 但其现有合成工艺普遍存在环境污染严重、反应流程冗长、操作安全风险较高等突出问题, 制约了其绿色高效生产. 以活性烃类化合物为桥梁介导分子氧活化与烯烃环氧化反应, 是解决上述问题的可行路径: 该路径通常通过高效活化C-H键生成活性自由基, 进而与分子氧耦合, 实现后续的选择性氧化转化. 然而, 如何设计能够高效调控C-H键氧化过程、定向生成烯烃环氧化关键中间体的催化剂, 仍是当前该领域面临的核心挑战.
本文设计并合成了一种金属卟啉基共价有机框架(COF)催化剂(Ru-COF-TPD), 以空气作为绿色氧化剂, 通过金刚烷氧化接力策略构建了高效的烯烃环氧化催化体系. Ru-COF-TPD催化剂具有金属活性位点分散均匀、结构稳定性优异及孔径可调等独特优势. 在空气氛围下, 该催化剂可高效活化金刚烷的C-H键, 原位生成过氧活性物种, 并精准调控活性氧物种的转移过程, 从而实现烯烃的高选择性环氧化. 以1-丁烯为模型底物时, 该催化体系可实现83%的底物转化率和81%的环氧化物选择性, 且对多种不同结构的烯烃底物均表现出良好的催化普适性. 反应后催化剂的金属活性位点仍保持高度分散状态, 证实其具备优异的结构稳定性. 动力学研究表明, 该反应体系为吸热且无序的反应过程, 其反应动力学行为符合拟一级动力学模型, 计算得到的表观活化能为108.08 kJ/mol. 机理研究进一步揭示, Ru-COF-TPD通过活化金刚烷的C-H键生成碳中心自由基, 该自由基与氧气结合形成过氧自由基, 随后通过高价钌氧(Ru=O)中间体调控环氧化反应的选择性.
综上, 本研究针对烯烃直接空气环氧化反应的技术瓶颈, 设计并合成了一种结构有序、性能稳定、催化位点均匀分散的Ru-COF-TPD催化剂. 该催化剂可在较温和的反应条件下, 有效活化金刚烷, 并与氧气原位生成烷基过氧自由基, 进而实现以丙烯、丁烯为代表的烯烃的高效环氧化反应. 所建立的催化体系兼具安全性、经济性与催化高效性, 为烯烃环氧化反应的绿色工业化应用提供了实验室规模的可行方案与理论支撑.

Abstract:

Epoxides are crucial intermediates in fine chemical production, but existing synthesis processes suffer from issues such as pollution, long process flows, or safety risks. Linking molecular oxygen activation and olefin epoxidation through active hydrocarbons as a bridge is a feasible pathway; this method typically involves effective C-H dehydrogenation to form active free radicals, which then couple with molecular oxygen to achieve subsequent selective oxidation. However, the design of catalysts capable of efficiently regulating the oxidative activation of C-H bonds to generate key intermediates for olefin epoxidation remains challenging. Herein, we designed a metal porphyrin-based COF catalyst (Ru-COF-TPD) and, using air as the oxidant, constructed a catalytic system for olefin epoxidation via the oxidation relay of adamantane. Ru-COF-TPD features highly dispersed metal atoms, excellent stability, and tunable pore sizes. Under an air atmosphere, it can activate the C-H bonds of adamantane to in-situ generate peroxy species and regulate active oxygen transfer, thereby enabling selective olefin epoxidation. It achieves 83% conversion for 1-butylene with 81% selectivity to the corresponding epoxide, and exhibits good activity towards various olefins. After the reaction, the metal sites remain dispersed, indicating good structural stability of the catalyst. This tandem system is an endothermic and disordered, following a pseudo-first-order model with an apparent activation energy of 108.08 kJ/mol. It was further found that Ru-COF-TPD generates carbon-centered radicals by activating the C-H bonds of adamantane, which then combine with oxygen to form peroxy radicals, and regulates the epoxidation process high-valence Ru=O intermediates. The catalytic system established in this study is safe, economical, and efficient, providing a lab-scale protocol for olefin oxidation with air.
