Immobilization of Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 in various renewable polysaccharides hydrogels, yielded heterogeneous catalysts that were successfully used, for the first time, in the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohol. The new catalysts were easily removed from the reaction mixture and recycled with some loss of activity. Among all tested polysaccharides, iota-carrageenan was found to be the most suitable support, using calcium chloride as a gelation agent.

Moreover, facile recycling and reusability, the <a>hallmark</a> of heterogeneous catalysts, were kept for the homogeneous CN photocatalyst via reversible precipitation using poor solvents. It opens new vista of CN in homogeneous catalysis and offers a successful example of polymeric catalysts in bridging gaps of homo/heterogeneous catalysis.

The synthesis, characterisation and homogeneous catalytic oxidation results of two manganese(III) porphyrins of the so-called second-generation of metalloporphyrin catalysts, containing one or four 3,5-dichloropyridyl substituents at the meso positions are reported for the first time. The catalytic efficiency of these novel manganese(III) porphyrins was evaluated in the oxidation of cyclooctene and styrene using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, under homogeneous conditions. High conversions were obtained in the presence of both catalysts, obtaining the corresponding epoxide as the major product. The asymmetric metalloporphyrin, chloro[5,10,15-tris(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-20-(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)porphyrinate]manganese(III), CAT-4, evidences a similar activity to that obtained with the well-known and highly efficient second-generation metalloporphyrin catalyst, chloro[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrinate]manganese(III), CAT-2. CAT-4 was covalently attached onto Merrifield resin and 3-bromopropylsilica supports. The solid materials obtained were characterized by several techniques including diffuse reflectance, UV—VIS spectrophotometry, SEM and XPS. The catalytic results for the oxidation of cyclooctene and styrene using the immobilized catalysts are also presented. The Merrifield-supported catalyst showed to be very efficient, leading to five catalytic cycles in the oxidation of cyclooctene, using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant.

The aerobic oxidation process for the synthesis of porphyrins, previously performed using 5 mol % p-chloranil (TCQ), 5 mol % iron(II) phthalocyanine ( FePc ) and stoichiometric amounts of O 2, has been refined using new phthalocyanine catalysts. Four phthalocyanine catalysts have been prepared, characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy and examined for efficacy in the high concentration (0.1 M) synthesis of tetraphenylporphyrin at room temperature. Each phthalocyanine has been identified to be a μ-oxo dimer. Two catalysts are soluble (the μ-oxo dimers [(t-butyl)4 FePc ]2 O and [(n- C 6 H 13 O )4 FePc ]2 O ) and enable homogeneous reactions, while two are insoluble (the μ-oxo(1) and μ-oxo(2) dimers of FePc , ( FePc )2 O ) and give heterogeneous reactions. These four phthalocyanine compounds provide efficient catalysis at the 0.3–1 mol % level using only 1 mol % quinone or hydroquinone ( TCQ , DDQ , TCQH 2 or DDQH 2), affording ~25% yields of tetraphenylporphyrin in 60 min of oxidation. There are no discernible advantages of the homogeneous versus heterogeneous catalysts. The μ-oxo dimers are active, but FePc is inactive, at the 0.3 mol % level. The activity of the FePc sample at the 5 mol % level is attributed to residual μ-oxo dimer impurity. This aerobic oxidation process is superior to stoichiometric oxidation with TCQ or DDQ , and can be performed in the presence of BF 3· O ( Et )2, trifluoroacetic acid, or under neutral conditions.
