Abstract

A series of porphines, oxotitanium(IV) and peroxotitanium(IV) porphyrinates were tested as photosensitizers of the singlet oxygen ene reaction with cyclohexene and cis-cyclooctene. The relative order of activity is: H 2(P)>OTi(P)≥Ti(O 2)P. Best stability is obtained for porphines or porphyrinate complexes with fluorine substituents. Oxotitanium(IV) porphyrinates are active in the decomposition of allylic hydroperoxides. The (photo)catalytic epoxidation occurs less readily than the thermal reaction at 82°C. Attempts of photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide activations lead to fast destruction of OTi(P).
