Abstract
AbstractMany oxidation systems using iron or manganese porphyrins as catalysts and various oxygen atom donors have been reported to mimic cytochrome P‐450‐dependent monooxygenases1–3). Such systems are very efficient for epoxidation of alkenes and reasonably for alkane hydroxylation. Few authors also reported about the activity to hydroxylate aromatic rings. In these cases low yields were found for hydroxylation of anisole, benzene, naphthalene, and toluene4–7). Biomimetic systems based on metalloporphyrin catalysts can be used for preparative oxidation of some substrates and appear particularly useful for the preparation of oxidized metabolites of drugs or other xenobiotics.
