ABSTRACT: A rhombohedral BaRuO3 nanoperovskite, which was synthesized by the sol−gel method using malic acid, could act as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various aromatic and aliphatic sulfides with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant. BaRuO3 showed much higher catalytic activities than other catalysts, including ruthenium-based perovskite oxides, under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst could be recovered by simple filtration and reused several times without obvious loss of its high catalytic performance. The catalyst effect, 18O-labeling experiments, and kinetic and mechanistic studies showed that substrate oxidation proceeds with oxygen species caused by the solid. The crystal structure of ruthenium-based oxides is crucial to control the nature of the oxygen atoms and significantly affects their oxygen transfer reactivity. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the face-sharing octahedra in BaRuO3 likely are possible active sites in the present oxidation in sharp contrast to the corner-sharing octahedra in SrRuO3, CaRuO3, and RuO2. The superior oxygen transfer ability of BaRuO3 is also applicable to the quantitative conversion of dibenzothiophene into the corresponding sulfone and gram-scale oxidation of 4-methoxy thioanisole, in which 1.20 g (71% yield) of the analytically pure sulfoxide could be isolated.

INTRODUCTION Since the oxygenated products are useful as platform commodities and specialty chemicals, liquid-phase selective oxidation of organic substrates is an important reaction.1−4 Catalytic oxidation with molecular oxygen (O2) as the sole oxidant has received much attention because there is no requirement for stoichiometric amounts of traditional toxic organic and inorganic reagents, high contents of active oxygen, and no formation of toxic byproducts. Although various catalytic systems that are effective for aerobic selective oxidation have been reported, the scope of these catalysts still encounters many challenges.5−7 For example, the involvement of autoxidation reactions always suffers from low selectivity to oxygenated products, which leads to limited applicability (e.g., industrial production of terephthalic acid and ketone-alcohol (KA) oil (cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol)). Therefore, the design and development of new effective catalysts for selective oxidation using only O2 is required to overcome the drawbacks of conventional methods. © XXXX American Chemical Society

Sulfoxides and sulfones are useful organosulfur compounds as synthetic intermediates for natural products and biologically important molecules,8 ligands used for asymmetric catalysis,9,10 and oxygen atom donors.11 In addition, oxidative desulfurization is a promising method for the removal of some thiophenic sulfur compounds that are not effectively removed from fuels by hydrodesulfurization.12 There are many catalytic systems for the selective oxidation of sulfides using activated oxidants such as organic hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)13−19 or O2 in combination with reductants20−23 and photoirradiation.24−26 In particular, high activity (tens of thousands of turnover numbers (TONs) in some cases), excellent chemoand enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope can be achieved for the sulfoxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide and H2O2 in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Received: April 10, 2018 Accepted: June 27, 2018

In addition, heterogeneous systems have several drawbacks, such as low applicability, activity, and selectivity, and requirements of high reaction temperatures, additives, or specific solvents to achieve high catalytic performance (see Table S1).29−33 In this context, the development of effective solid catalysts for aerobic oxidation of a variety of sulfides including inactive aryl sulfides under mild conditions remains a challenging subject of research. Perovskite oxides, having the general formula of ABO3, are one of the most promising piezoelectric, (multi)ferroelectric, magnetic, superconducting, and catalytic materials because of their structural simplicity and flexibility, good stability, and controllable physicochemical properties.34−38 The ideal perovskite has a cubic structure and can be described as the A cation occupying the 12-fold coordination site between cornersharing BO6 octahedra (Figure 1b). On the other hand, a

system has the following advantages: (1) high catalytic performance, even at low temperature, (2) wide substrate scope including application to the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, and (3) recyclability. In this paper, we report the synthesis and aerobic sulfoxidation catalysis of BaRuO3 and investigate the kinetic and mechanistic aspects of the present sulfoxidation system. This study provides the first example of a perovskite catalyst applicable to selective oxidation of sulfides using O2 as the sole oxidant.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Catalytic Oxidation of Sulfides with O2 as the Sole Oxidant. BaRuO3 was synthesized by a sol−gel method using malic acid/metal acetate in combination with acid treatment (see details given in the Supporting Information).40 The characterization results using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are shown in Figure 2. The XRD pattern of BaRuO3 indicates

that the crystal structure of the sample could be indexed to the rhombohedral BaRuO3 structure (ICSD 16208, space group R3m) and that impurity phases of RuO2 (Figure 1a) and BaCO3 are not observed (Figures 2a and S1).43 The grain size (dXRD) was calculated to be 26 nm using Scherrer’s equation with respect to the (110) diffraction lines. Figures 2c and 2d show SEM and TEM images of BaRuO3, respectively. The size of spherical nanoparticles was estimated to be 20−50 nm, and the distribution well agreed with the dXRD value. The BaRuO3 particles present the clear lattice fringes with d-spacings of 0.29 and 0.33 nm which would be assigned to the (110) and (104) planes of BaRuO3, respectively. The specific surface area of BaRuO3 was 25 m2·g−1, and the value was much larger than that of BaRuO3 (5 m2·g−1) synthesized by the coprecipitation method.44 The molar ratio of Ba to Ru was ca. 1:1 based on the elemental analysis of BaRuO3 using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The Raman spectrum of BaRuO3 showed bands at 616 (A1g), 457 (A1g), and 317 (Eg) cm−1, and the band positions are close to the previously reported values for 9R-BaRuO3 (Figure S2).45,46 Figure 2b shows the XPS Ru 3p spectrum of BaRuO3. The peak with a binding energy of 463.2 eV likely corresponds to ruthenium oxides.47 Orthorhombic CaRuO3 (Figure 1c) and

transformation from corner-sharing to face-sharing octahedra is induced when using large alkaline-earth cations (A2+) which results in the hexagonal or rhombohedral structures (e.g., Figure 1d).34 Despite such a structural diversity, catalysis over lanthanum-based and/or multicomponent perovskites with corner-sharing BO6 octahedra has been mainly investigated,35,37 and applications have been limited to electrochemical,38 photocatalytic,36 and high-temperature gas-phase reactions.35,37 In particular, the perovskite-catalyzed liquidphase organic reactions for application in green chemistry have been scarcely investigated.35 We have recently reported the synthesis and catalytic application of high-surface-area hexagonal SrMnO3 perovskite nanomaterials for the selective aerobic oxidation of organic substrates such as alcohols through the reductive activation of O2.39,40 Here, we focus on the possible oxidation ability of ruthenium-based perovskite catalysts.41,42 Rhombohedral BaRuO3, which consists of units of three RuO6 octahedra sharing faces in a partial chain (Figure 1d), could be an efficient solid catalyst for the liquid-phase oxidation of sulfides using O2 as the sole oxidant.

well as the successive oxidation of 2a to 3a. The effectiveness of tertiary alcohols decreased with an increase in the alkyl chain length in the order of t-BuOH > tert-amyl alcohol >3methyl-3-pentanol, which indicates that the steric effect of coadsorped solvents probably affects the reaction of substrates with surface active oxygen atoms. In addition, t-BuOH would not act as a reductant but as a solvent according to the following results: (i) The oxidation of 1a in nonreducible odichlorobenzene efficiently proceeded without an induction period in a similar way to that in t-BuOH, while the successive oxidation of the corresponding sulfoxide was also promoted (Figure S6). (ii) No coproducts caused by the oxidation (or oxidative degradation) of t-BuOH as a reductant was observed. When the oxidation of 1a in t-BuOH was carried out with O2 (1.0 MPa), the reaction proceeded efficiently, even at 313 K, and the yield and selectivity for 2a were increased to 92% and 84%, respectively (entry 2). Although several effective Mo, Au, and Mn-based inorganic solid catalyst systems for the selective sulfoxidation of 1a have been reported,29−32 high reaction temperatures are typically needed to attain high yield of 2a. Therefore, this system promotes the oxidation under mild conditions; the temperature (313 K) was lower than those (373−423 K) for previously reported systems (Table S1). In addition, the successive conversion of 1a into 3a in tBuOH could be achieved by an increase in the reaction temperature to 373 K (entry 3). Thus, the product selectivity could be controlled by changing the reaction conditions. Next, the catalyst effect on the aerobic oxidation of 1a in tBuOH was investigated (Table 2). The reaction did not proceed without a catalyst (entry 14). The catalytic activity and specific surface area of BaRuO3 synthesized by the malicacid-aided method were higher than those of BaRuO3 synthesized by the polymerized complex method (entries 1 and 2).39 The catalytic activity of ARuO3 (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) is strongly dependent on the type of A site atoms: Cubic SrRuO3 and orthorhombic CaRuO3 with corner-sharing octahedra exhibited much lower catalytic activity than BaRuO3 with face-sharing octahedra (entries 1, 3, and 4). Simple RuO2 and other Ru complexes (Ru(OAc)x, Ru(acac)3, and catalyst precursor before the calcination (see details given in the Supporting Information)) were almost inactive (entries 5−9). Hexagonal SrMnO3 perovskite was also inactive,49 and successful aerobic sulfoxidation required isobutyraldehyde as an additive.39 The catalytic activity of other Mn-based solid catalysts, such as activated MnO2 and Mo-doped α-MnO2 (Mo-OMS-2), which can act as efficient oxidation catalysts,30−32,50,51 was lower than that of BaRuO3, even at an O2 pressure of 1.0 MPa, despite the large surface areas of these Mn-based solid catalysts (42−325 m2/g) (entries 10−13). To examine whether the present oxidation catalysis is due to solid BaRuO3 or not, BaRuO3 was removed from the reaction mixture by hot filtration at ca. 30% conversion of 1a under the conditions (entry 1, Table 1). Although the filtrate was then heated again, further production of 2a was not observed (Figure 3a). Leaching of Ru or Ba species into the filtrate was not observed using ICP-AES (detection limits for Ru and Ba atoms of ca. 10 and 0.3 ppb, respectively). Therefore, the nature of the present oxidation catalysis was verified to be heterogeneous.52 The used catalyst could be easily recovered by filtration. The recovered BaRuO3 catalyst could then be reused three times. In this case, a significant decrease in the yield and selectivity of 2a was not observed (Figure 3b). The recycling experiments at 0.1 MPa of O2 were carried out to

cubic SrRuO3 (Figure 1b) with corner-sharing RuO6 octahedra were also successfully synthesized by the malic acid-aided sol− gel method and were characterized by XRD, N2-adsorption, XPS, SEM, and elemental analyses (Figures S3−S5).48 First, the oxidation of thioanisole (1a) in various solvents catalyzed by BaRuO3 at 333 K was examined using O2 (0.1 MPa) as the sole oxidant (Table 1). The main products were Table 1. Solvent Effect on the Oxidation of 1a Catalyzed by BaRuO3 with O2a

The discrepancy between the trend of surface reduction rates (based on H2-TPR experiments) and that of energy change for bulk reduction (based on DFT calculations) would be caused by the significantly lower surface area of CaRuO3 than other Ru-based catalysts.69 These results support the idea that the oxygen transfer from BaRuO3 to a sulfide, as well as the reoxidation of the partially reduced BaRuO3−x species with O2, proceeds much more smoothly than with the other Ru-based oxides. In this case, μ2-face-sharing oxygen atoms and/or related adsorbed oxygen species (including the possibility of other representative active species of RuO, Ru−O radical, RuOO−, etc.)41,42 caused by the face-sharing octahedra in BaRuO3 likely play an important role in the present oxidation reaction.

CONCLUSION In summary, BaRuO3 efficiently catalyzed the selective oxidation of various aryl and aliphatic sulfides into sulfoxides and/or sulfones under mild reaction conditions with O2 as the sole oxidant and without any additives. The present system is a reusable heterogeneous catalyst that has potential for application to the large-scale oxidation of thioanisoles and quantitative conversion of dibenzothiophene into the corresponding sulfone. On the basis of the catalyst effect, 18Olabeling experiments, kinetic, mechanistic, spectroscopic, and computational results, substrate oxidation most likely proceeds via oxygen atoms from the BaRuO3 oxide surface, and facesharing octahedra in BaRuO3 would play an important role in the sulfoxidation reaction. Such a difference of mechanism and specific structure in hexagonal perovskite catalyst can overcome the limitations including the applicability to aryl sulfides. This study suggests the importance of the structure−reactivity relationship for liquid-phase reactions over perovskite catalysts under mild reaction conditions. Perovskite and related materials have many polymorphs, which has a significant influence on their chemical and physical properties. This approach is a promising strategy for the design and development of highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for functional group transformation reactions through the structure-dependent activation of substrates and/or reagents.

(65) The 16O2/18O2 exchange reaction did not occur under the reaction conditions without 1a. In addition, the aerobic oxidation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, which is easily trapped by singlet oxygen than sulfides, did not proceeded with BaRuO3. These results also support suggest that the origin of oxygen atoms in oxygenated products (sulfoxides and sulfones) is not from the external gaseous dioxygen including singlet oxygen but from the oxygen atoms in BaRuO3: Bonesi, S.

(69) CaRuO3 also showed multistep reduction peaks;: a relatively weak peak at 500 K and an intense peak at ca. 740 K which are higher than those of BaRuO3 and SrRuO3. It has been reported that the decrease in the surface area causes the shift of reduction peaks toward higher temperatures due to the increased diffusional resistance. Irusta, S.; Pina, M.
