E. Baciocchi et al., EPOXIDATION AND HYDROXYLATION REACTIONS CATALYZED BY THE MANGANESE AND IRON COMPLEXES OF 5,10,15,20-TETRAKIS(2,6-DIMETHOXYPHENYL)PORPHYRIN, Tetrahedron, 53(12), 1997, pp. 4497-4502
Manganese(III) and iron(III) complexes of 5.10.15.20-tetrakis-(2,6-dim
ethoxyphenyl)porphyrin (H(2)TDMeOPP) were tested as catalysts in the e
poxidation of alkenes and in the hydroxylation of adamantane with H2O2
(in the presence of imidazole) or PhIO as oxidants. The behavior of t
he two catalysts is compared with that of the corresponding manganese(
III) and iron(III) complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,6-dichloropheny
l)porphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, and the observed diff
erences ascribed to the electron donating effect of the methoxy groups
