Abstract

The polymer-bound benzotriazole (P-BTA) was prepared from p-chloromethylated polystyrene resin, benzotriazole and anhydrous K2CO3 under phase transfer catalysis. The polymer complex (P-BTA-Cu) was synthesized with P-BTA and metal salts (Cu(OAc)2·H2O), and was characterized by IR spectra, XPS, TG-DTA and elemental analysis, which showed that the polymer was stabilized by benzotriazole. The polymer complexes (P-BTA-Cu) have been applied in oxidation of the α-carbon of aromatic hydrocarbon with O2. The reaction was carried out under 1 atm of O2, which gives α-methylbenzyl alcohol and acetophenone for ethylbenzene.
