Oxidation of Cycloalkanes and Arylalkanes with Sodium Periodate Catalysed by Manganese Porphyrins

Abstract

Cycloalkanes and arylalkanes are transformed into their related alcohols and ketones in moderate to high yields and selectivities at room temperature with sodium periodate in the presence of manganese(III) tetraarylporphyrin complexes associated with imidazole and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide in CH₂Cl₂–H₂O solution.
