Abstract

Copper (II) paratolysulfate has been synthesized and characterized by thermo-gravimetric (TG) measurements and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis. This salt can easily lose all crystal water and the dehydrated salt does not deliquesce in the air. It is found for the first time that the complex of Cu(p-OTs)_(2)/ethanolamine(1∶1) can catalyze the oxidation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol in DMSO and DMF, while the process is difficult to perform in H_(2)O and CH_(3)OH. The electrochemical behaviors of both Cu(p-OTs)_(2) and its complexes with ethanolamine have been studied on platinum electrode in DMSO, DMF, (CH_(3)OH) and H_(2)O respectively. The complexes of various copper salts with ethanolamine are also studied by cyclic voltammetry in different solvents. It is concluded that the two one-electron steps are essential condition for the oxidation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol.
