Abstract: Cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) is the most important product or intermediate in the oxidative processing of cumene. In the present study, cooperative action of NHPI catalyst with Fe(acac)3/Phen additives in oxidation of cumene has been described in terms of oxidation rate and selectivity for products, notably CHP, under variable conditions. The oxidation characteristics were influenced by promoting additives, the main function of which was to generate an active PINO radical. An abundance of the additives might enhance the non-selective conversion of intermediates and decomposition of CHP, which led to a decrease in CHP selectivity. The addition of 0.0003 mol% Fe(acac)3 was sufficient to initiate NHPI catalyzed fast cumene oxidation and very selective CHP production at 50 °°C. Phen showed an impressive multifaceted effect, as the increase in its amount initially lowered the CHP selectivity and then increased to 95% with a large excess of Phen over Fe(acac)3. That was due to the different ability of iron complexes of various compositions to react to NHPI and to CHP. UV-VIZ spectroscopy and DFT calculation was used to elucidate assistance of Phen in reduction of Fe(acac)3 with NHPI and creation of FeII/FeIII –Phen2or3 complexes as reversible single-electron carriers upon catalysis by NHPI. In addition, the selective formation of CHP contributes to the resistance of NHPI to degradation during catalysis.
