Efficient Catalytic Oxidation of Primary Aromatic Amines to Azo Derivatives by Manganese(III) Tetraphenylporphyrin

Abstract

The oxidation of primary aromatic amines to the corresponding azo derivatives has been observed in catalytic systems containing manganese(III) tetraphenylporphyrin and sodium periodate in the presence of heterocyclic nitrogen bases acting as axial ligands.
