A highly efficient non-heme manganese complex in oxygenation reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Nov 28:(44):4623-5. doi: 10.1039/b708976g. Epub 2007 Sep 20.

Abstract

A non-heme manganese(II) complex shows a high catalytic activity in the epoxidation of olefins by iodosyl benzene and in the oxidation of olefins, alcohols and alkanes by peracetic acid; a mechanism involving metal-based oxidants is proposed for the oxidation reactions.
