The team of researchers make use of the –NH2 terminal groups present in native C3N4 to covalently anchor an Fe(SalenCl2) molecular catalyst without the need for any additional linkers (pictured). This is performed by reacting the aryl chloride group of the molecule with C3N4 in the presence of KOtBu. With the Fe(Salen) attached to the surface, it is shown that styrene can be converted into styrene oxide under blue light-emitting diode irradiation in the presence of only O2 and no other reagents. The reaction scope is expanded to cover a series of linear and cyclic alkenes including cyclohexene, α-pinene, 1-octene and cis-4-octene. The C3N4-FeCl(Salen) hybrid photocatalyst can be easily recovered by centrifugation and recycled.
The approach presented in this study offers a less-energy-intensive route than epoxidation by the Prilezhaev reaction using harsh stoichiometric peracids such as meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), which are also hazardous to work with. Further optimization of conditions and different molecular catalyst combinations could be employed to enhance the efficiency and scope of reactivity.
