Abstract
A highly efficient oxidation of propargylic alcohols to ynones was catalyzed by copper nanoparticles (Cu Nps) with TBHP as an oxidant at room temperature. With bipyridine as the ligand, the reaction was accelerated significantly and led in good to excellent yields to a variety of propargylic alcohols. Furthermore, with Cu Nps as the catalyst, molecular oxygen in air could be utilized as oxidant effectively in the presence of bpy ligand.
Key words

References and Notes
The diameter of Cu Nps is ca. 20-30 nm. The detailed procedure about the synthesis of Cu Nps is described in the Supporting Information.
14The in situ formed Cu2O on the surface of Cu Nps was proposed as the catalytic active species in the reaction. However, when pure Cu2O Nps were utilized as catalyst, similar catalytic activity but lower selectivity was observed.
15Typical Procedure for the Cu Nps Catalyzed Oxidation of Propargylic Alcohols with TBHP as Oxidant (Entry 1, Table 2): 1,3-Diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol (1a, 0.2 mmol), Cu NPs (1.3 mg, 10 mol%), bipyridine (3.2 mg, 10 mol%), TBHP (55 µL, 2.0 equiv, 70% in H2O), and CH2Cl2 (1.5 mL) were added into a 20-mL Schlenk tube under air. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. Then, the reaction was stopped, and the reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes-EtOAc, 30:1). Compound 2a was obtained in >98% yield.
16From crude ¹H NMR and TLC, there are no overoxidized by-products observed.
18Typical Procedure for the Cu Nps Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Propargylic Alcohols (Entry 1, Table 5): 1,3-Diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol (1a, 0.2 mmol), Cu Nps (1.3 mg, 10 mol%), bipyridine (3.2 mg, 10 mol%) were mixed with toluene (1.5 mL) in a 20-mL Schlenk tube under air. The mixture was stirred at 80 ˚C for 8 h. Then, the reaction was stopped, and the reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes-EtOAc, 30:1). Compound 2a was obtained in 80% yield.
20This result also indicated the possibility of recycling the catalyst. In fact, the Cu Nps catalyst could be separated and recovered conveniently by centrifugation, and then, be reused directly without additional bpy ligand. With 1d as the substrate, ca. 80% yield was still obtained in the third reaction with prolonged reaction time. To improve recycle capability, the effects of particle size and particle support are currently under investigations.
