Efficient selective oxidation of ketones to lactones by molecular oxygen with benzaldehyde as an oxygen acceptor, in the presence of metalloporphyrins, has been reported. Iron(III) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin chloride ( Fe ( TPP ) Cl ) showed excellent activity and selectivity for oxidation of cyclohexanones under mild conditions. Moreover, different factors influencing ketones oxidation, e.g. catalyst, solvent, temperature and additive, have been investigated. The turnover number (TON) of the Fe ( TPP ) Cl catalyst could reach up to 71000 in a large scale oxidation of cyclohexanone. A plausible mechanism of ketone oxidation by molecular oxygen in the presence of metalloporphyrins and benzaldehyde was proposed.

The recycled methanol solvent of the HPPO (liquid-phase epoxidation of propylene and hydrogen peroxide to propylene oxide) process usually contains many kinds of trace impurities, such as fusel alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, ester, acetal, and amine. In this study, the influence of these impurities on the catalytic performance of titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) in the liquid-phase epoxidation of propylene with H2O2 was investigated with a batch reactor and simulated methanol solvents. The results show that amine and acetone are the most hazardous impurities, as they could remarkably suppress the conversion of H2O2. Furthermore, competitive adsorption experiments and IR and UV-Raman spectroscopic studies indicate that the suppression effect of impurities on the catalytic activity of TS-1 can be attributed to the competitive adsorption of the impurities on the tetra-coordination framework Ti sites. With this funding, the suppression mechanism of different impurities in a methanol solvent on the catalytic activity of TS-1 in the liquid-phase epoxidation of propylene was discussed.
