D. Mohajer et al., Oxidation of cycloalkanes and arylalkanes with sodium periodate catalysed by manganese porphyrins, J CHEM R-S, (12), 1998, pp. 822-823
Cycloalkanes and arylalkanes are transformed into their related alcohols an
d 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 CH
2Cl2-H2O solution.
