Polymer-bound Schiff-base ligand (PS-Sal-Cys) was prepared from the polystyrene-bound salicylaldehyde and L-cysteine, its complex (PS-Sal-Cys-Mn) was also synthesized. The polymer ligand and its complex were characterized by infrared spectra (IR), small area X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectro (ICP-AES). In the presence of complex, cyclohexane can be effectively oxidized by molecular oxygen without a reductant. The major products of the reaction are 2-cyclohexen-1-ol, 2-cyclohexen-1-one, and 2-cyclohexen-1-hydroperoxide, which is different from the typical oxidation of cyclohexene. The mechanism of cyclohexene oxidation is also discussed.
Ferulic acid(FA)has been reported possessing strong bioactivities in physiology and pharmacology.In this paper,FA was conjugated into Chitooligosaccharide(COS)to get the polymer derivatives of FA.Their cytotoxic activities have been evaluated in vitro using SRB(sulforllodamine B)assay.In contrast of FA,the derivatives showed stronger cytotoxic activites than that of COS and FA.
The polymer-bound Schiff base ternary manganese complexes [PS-SalPhe-Mn-L(L=Phen, Bipy and 8HQ)] have been prepared from the polymer-bound Schiff base ligand, a manganese salt and the second ligand, such as 1,10-phenanthroline(phen), 2,2′-bipyridyl(bipy) and 8-quinolinol(8HQ). The polymer-bound Schiff base ternary manganese complexes were characterized by means of infrared spectrometry and ICP-AES. The catalytic activities of the complexes have been studied in the aerobic epoxidation of long-chain linear aliphatic olefins. It is shown that 1-octene or 1-decene can be directly oxidized by molecular oxygen when catalyzed by PS-SalPhe-Mn-L(L=Phen, Bipy and 8HQ), and 1,2-epoxy alkane can be afforded in these reactions.
