Vanadyl acetylacetonate is the chemical compound with the formula VO(acac)2, where acac– is the conjugate base of acetylacetone. It is a blue-green solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents. The coordination complex consists of the vanadyl group, VO2+, bound to two acac– ligands via the two oxygen atoms on each. Like other charge-neutral acetylacetonate complexes, it is not soluble in water.

Transcription
Synthesis
The complex is generally prepared from vanadium(IV), e.g. vanadyl sulfate:[1]
- VOSO4 + 2 Hacac → VO(acac)2 + H2SO4
It can also be prepared by a redox reaction starting with vanadium pentoxide. In this reaction, some acetylacetone is oxidized to 2,3,4-Pentanetrione.[1]
Structure and properties
The complex has a square pyramidal structure with a short V=O bond. This d1 compound is paramagnetic. Its optical spectrum exhibits two transitions. It is a weak Lewis acid, forming adducts with pyridine and methylamine.[1]
Applications
It is used in organic chemistry as a catalyst for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The VO(acac)2–TBHP system exclusively epoxidizes geraniol at the allylic alcohol position, leaving the other alkene of geraniol untouched. By comparison, m-CPBA, another epoxidizing agent, reacts with both alkenes, creating the products in a two to one ratio favoring reaction at the alkene away from the hydroxyl group. TBHP oxidizes VO(acac)2 to a vanadium(V) species which coordinates the alcohol of the substrate and the hydroperoxide, directing the epoxidation to occur at the alkene close to this coordination site.[2][3]
Biomedical aspects
Vanadyl acetylacetonate exhibits insulin mimetic properties, in that it can stimulate the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3).[4] It has also been shown inhibit tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), PTPases[clarification needed] such as PTP1B, which dephosphorylates insulin receptor beta subunit, thus increasing its[clarification needed] phosphorylation, allowing for a prolonged activation of IRS-1, PKB, and GSK-3, allowing them to exert their anti-diabetic properties.[4]
