1.  Experimental

1.1. Materials

4-(2-{2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]ethoxy}ethoxy)phthalonitrile 1 were synthesized according to the literature [1]. All reagents and solvents were of reagent grade quality and were obtained from commercial suppliers. All solvents were dried and purified as described by Perrin and Armarego [2].

1.2. Equipment

The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer 1600 FT-IR spectrophotometer using KBr pellets. 1H-NMR spectra was recorded on a Varian Mercury 400 MHz spectrometer in CDCl3. Chemical shifts were reported (d) relative to Me4Si as internal standard. Mass spectra were measured on a MALDI-MS of complexes were obtained in dihydroxybenzoic acid as MALDI matrix using nitrogen laser accumulating 50 laser shots using Bruker Microflex LT MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. Optical spectra in the UV-Vis region were recorded with a Perkin Elmer Lambda 25 spectrophotometer. GC Agilent Technologies 7820A equipment (30m x 0.32mm x 0.50 mm DB Wax capillary column, FID detector) was used GC measurements.

1.3. General procedure for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol

Experiments were carried out in a thermostated Schlenk vessel equipped with a condenser and stirrer. The solution of benzyl alcohol and catalyst in solvent was purified with bubbling nitrogen gas to remove the oxygen. A mixture of benzyl alcohol (1.92×10-3 mol), catalyst (3.20×10-6 mol) and solvent (0.01 L) was stirred in a Schlenk vessel for few minutes at room temperature. The oxidant TBHP (1.60×10-3 mol) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred for the desired time. The samples (0.0005 L) were taken at certain time intervals. Each sample was injected at least twice in the GC, 1 µL each time. Formation of products and consumption of substrates were monitored by GC.
