Catalytic Alkene Epoxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) Acetate and Imidazole
Abstract
Different alkene epoxidations were performed with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (35%) in MeCN with low to very high conversions and good to excellent selectivities by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) acetate and imidazole at room temperature.
