A. Thellend et al., AMMONIUM ACETATE AS A VERY SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT COCATALYST FOR MANGANESE PORPHYRIN-CATALYZED OXYGENATION OF HYDROCARBONS BY HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (9), 1994, pp. 1035-1036
A one-phase system using tra(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrinato]magnesium
(III) catalyst and ammonium acetate cocatalyst epoxidised alkenes by H
2O2 With complete conversion in excellent yield and hydroxylated alkan
es with yields of 45-87%; for most reactions this system gave better r
esults than a previously described analogous system using imidazole co
catalyst.
