Metalloporphyrin-catalysed epoxidation of terminal aliphatic olefins with hypochlorite salts or potassium hydrogen persulphate
Abstract
Substitution of tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(III) complexes on the peripheral phenyl groups makes these compounds suitable as catalysts for the epoxidation of terminal olefins with mono-oxygen donors such as sodium or lithium hypochlorite and potassium hydrogen peroxomonosulphate in a biphasic system.
