Oxidation with perhalogenated, water-soluble metalloporphyrins: application to oxidation of substituted 2-methylpyrroles
Abstract
Perchlorinated, sulfonated metalloporphyrin 1 cleanly oxidized substituted 2-methylpyrroles 2a–f in the presence of iodosylbenzene to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols 3a–f.
