Mild oxidation of styrene and its derivatives with ionic manganese porphyrin immobilized in the similarly structured ionic liquid
Without the auxiliary involvement of axial ligands and organic solvents, the ionic manganese porphyrin 1c immobilized in [BPy][BF4] efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of styrene and its derivatives under mild conditions, affording high activity/oxide selectivity and good stability even after 5 recycling uses.
