摘要

Cobalt (II) hydroxamates with the benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) pendant have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes were successfully employed to the oxidation of p-xylene to p-toluic acid with air at 110 degrees C under normal atmospheric pressure. The effects of the B15C5 pendant, the length of chain bonding of B15C5 in these complexes and the addition of alkali metal ions on the oxidation for p-xylene are also investigated by the comparison with the crown-free analogue.
