Popis: The oxidation of benzylic C H bonds by metalloporphyrins in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) has still limited. Herein, an efficient protocol of aerobic oxidation of primary benzylic C H bond by cobalt porphyrin and NHPI (N-hydroxyphthalimide) in scCO2 was established. Using toluene as model substrate, 21.6% conversion and 81.2% benzoic acid selectivity was obtained under the optimized conditions. The protocol also exhibited good tolerance towards the oxidation of various substrates with different electron property groups. Moreover, a plausible mechanism involving free radical and high-valence cobalt species was proposed.
