Significance

Copper supported on SiO2-coated iron powder (Cu/SiO2-Fe) was prepared by mixing iron powder and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in a mixture of aqueous NH3–EtOH followed by treatment with aqueous copper sulfate (eq. 1). Cu/SiO2-Fe promoted the α-aminoxylation of 2-aryloxy- and 2-acetoxy-1-arylethanones with TEMPO to give the corresponding aminoxylated products in up to 99% yield (19 examples, eq. 2).

Comment

In the aminoxylation of 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanone, the catalyst was recovered by magnetic separation and reused seven times with a slight decrease of its catalytic activity (1st reuse: 90% yield; 7th reuse: 80% yield).
