Fluorous biphasic catalysis (FBC) is a relatively new concept for homogeneous catalysis where the fluorocarbon soluble catalyst resides in a separate phase from the substrate and products. Therefore, separation of the catalyst and the products occurs by a facile decantation process. In this contribution, we present the synthesis of new Rf-fluoroponytailed synthons, 2-iodo-1-perfluorooctyl-3-propanol (1), 3-perfluorooctyl-1-propanol (2), and 3-perfluorooctyl-1-iodopropane (3), a variety of new Rf-fluoroponytailed ligands (4–8), with starting amines, 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, bis-picolylamine, and bis-picolylaminoethylenediamine, as well as new RfMn2+ and RfCo2+ fluoroponytailed carboxylate synthons, [Mn(O2C(CH2)2C8F17)2] (9), and [Co(O2C(CH2)2C8F17)2] (10), where Rf is C8F17. The only totally perfluoralkane soluble ligand we found was 1,4,7-tris-N-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11-heptadecafluoroundecyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (RfTACN, 4), and it was utilized, along with synthons 9 and 10, to generate in situ RfMn2+–RfTACN and RfCo2+–RfTACN complexes as precatalysts for functionalization of alkanes and alkenes. We will demonstrate that indeed this novel FBC approach for the separation of the precatalyst from the substrates and (or) products is viable for oxidation of alkanes and alkenes in the presence of the necessary oxidants, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), and O2 gas. We will also show that these oxidation reactions occur via an autoxidation mechanism under our FBC conditions, while using electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques to ascertain the redox chemistry occurring with the starting mononuclear RfMn2+–RfTACN complex.Key words: fluorous solvents, biphasic catalysis, alkane/alkene oxidation.

Oxidation reactions have emerged as one of the most versatile tools in organic chemistry. Various onium salts such as ammonium, phosphonium, arsonium, bismuthonium, tellurium have been used as phase transfer catalysts in many oxidation reactions. Certainly, considerable catalysts have been widely used in Phase-Transfer Catalysis (PTC). This review focuses on the application of PTC in various oxidation reaction. Furthermore, PTC also conforms to the concept of “Green Chemistry”. <p></p> • Oxidation has become one of the most widely used tools in organic chemistry and phase transfer catalysts has been widely used in oxidation. <p></p> • The application of phase transfer catalysts in oxidation reaction will be summarized. <p></p> • Phase transfer catalysts have important application in various oxidation reaction.
