Significance

Copper supported on manganese oxide based octahedral molecular sieves (CuO x /OMS-2) was prepared by reaction of OMS-2 with Cu(NO3)2·H2O (eq. 1). CuO x /OMS-2 catalyzed the intramolecular cyclization of 2-[(2-halophenyl)sulfanyl]phenols in the presence of Cs2CO3 at 130 °C to give the corresponding phenoxathiin derivatives in ≤95% yield (eq. 2).

Comment

The authors have previously reported the preparation of CuO x /OMS-2 and its use in the synthesis of 3-iodoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines (Catal. Sci. Technol. 2015, 5, 372). CuO x /OMS-2 was characterized by means of ICP-OES and TEM analyses. In the reaction of 2-[(2-bromophenyl)sulfanyl)-5-chlorophenol, the catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and reused seven times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
