Abstract
[Mn(salen)Cl-cellulose] was synthesized by immobilization of homogeneous Mn(salen)Cl complex on cellulose and characterized by FT-IR, TGA and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The resulted catalyst exhibited moderate to high reactivity in the oxidation of benzylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds using oxone as oxidant in ambient conditions. The catalytic activity of Mn(salen)Cl and [Mn(salen)Cl-cellulose] in this reaction was investigated. The heterogeneous catalyst showed higher catalytic activity with respect to neat Mn(salen)Cl complex.
