Significance

A copper–cobalt dual-atom catalyst supported on hierarchical USY zeolites (Cu–Co–Y), prepared according to eq. 1, promoted the cross-dehydrogenative coupling of unprotected phenols with phenothiazines and phenoxazine under an O2 atmosphere to give the corresponding C–N-coupled products in up to 82% yield (eq. 2).

Comment

Cu–Co–Y was characterized by means of N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, XRF, MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS, SXRD, TEM, EDX, UV/Vis, XPS, and XANES analyses. In the reaction of 4-methoxyphenol with phenothiazine, the catalyst was recovered and reused four times with gradual loss of its catalytic activity (fresh: 81%, 6th run: 65%).
