Abstract

Abstract Efficient biomimetic epoxidation of alkenes and hydroxylation of alkanes with sodium periodate catalyzed by zeolite-encapsulated Mn(III)-salophen, ZEMS, is reported. This catalytic system shows a good activity in the epoxidation of linear alkenes. Alkyl aromatic and cycloalkanes were oxidized efficiently to their corresponding alcohols and ketones in the presence of this catalyst. This heterogenized catalyst, ZEMS, has been characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis spectroscopic techniques, SEM, thermal and elemental analysis.
