Cytochrome P-450 dependent monooxygenases model system: rapid and efficient oxidation of primary aromatic amines to azo derivatives with sodium periodate catalyzed by manganese(III) Schiff base complexes

Abstract

Rapid and efficient oxidation of primary aromatic amines was investigated. Mn(III)-salophen catalyst can catalyze the oxidation of primary aromatic amines to azo derivatives with sodium periodate. The ability of various Schiff base complexes in this oxidation system was also investigated.
