Selective oxidation of substituted phenols is an ideal method for preparing functionalized p-benzoquinones (p-BQs), which serve as versatile raw materials for the synthesis of a variety of biologically active compounds. Herein, two new polyoxometalate-based supramolecular porous frameworks, K3(H2O)4[Cu(tza)2(H2O)]2[Cu(Htza)2(H2O)2][BW12O40]·6H2O (1) and H3K3(H2O)3[Cu(Htza)2(H2O)]3[SiW12O44]·14H2O (2) (Htza = tetrazol-1-ylacetic acid), were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray and powder diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that both compounds possess unique petal-like twelve-nucleated Cu-organic units composed of triangular and hexagonal metal-organic loops. In 1, the Cu-organic units are isolated and [BW12O40]5- polyoxoanions are sandwiched between staggered adjacent triangular channels in the structure. However in 2, the Cu-organic units extend into a two-dimensional layered structure, and the [SiW12O44]12- polyoxoanions occupy the larger hexagonal channels in the stacked structure. Both compounds as heterogeneous catalysts can catalyze the selective oxidation of substituted phenols to high value-added p-BQs under mild conditions (60 °C) with TBHP as the oxidant, particularly in the oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol to 2,3,5-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone (TMBQ, key intermediate in vitamin E production). Within 8-10 min, the yield of TMBQ is close to 100%, and oxidant utilization efficiency is up to 94.2% for 1 and 90.9% for 2. The turnover frequencies of 1 and 2 are as high as 5000 and 4000 h-1, respectively. No obvious decrease in the yield of TMBQ was observed after five cycles, which indicates the excellent sustainability of both compounds. Our study of the catalytic mechanism suggests that there is a two-site synergetic effect: (i) the copper ion acts as the catalytic site of the homolytic radical pathway; and (ii) the polyoxoanion acts as the active center of the heterolytic oxygen atom transfer pathway.

The straightforward oxidation of electron-rich arenes, namely, phenols, naphthols, and anisole derivatives, under mild reaction conditions, is described by means of the use of an environmentally benign HFIP-UHP system. The corresponding quinones or hydroxylated arenes were obtained in moderate to good yields.
