Abstract
Complexes of porphyrins and of other similar tetrapyrrolic macrocycles are extensively explored as catalysts for different chemical processes, and the development of solid catalysts for heterogeneous processes using molecules with the ability to act as multifunctional catalysts in one-pot reactions is increasing and can lead to the wider use of this class of molecules as catalysts. This mini review focuses on the application of this class of complexes as catalysts in a variety of sequential one-pot reactions.
Highlights
Catalysis is applicable to all chemical processes and contributes enormously to sustainable chemistry, enabling different chemical transformations, and reducing the need to use stoichiometric reactions for the manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals
In 2008, Jiang and coworkers reported the use of a ruthenium porphyrin applied to the selectivity for aldehydes in metal-catalyzed oxidation reactions of
The authors successfully synthesized a new efficient and recyclable catalyst, used in one of the first reported sequential tandem reactions based on a porphyrin macrocycle
Summary
Catalysis is applicable to all chemical processes and contributes enormously to sustainable chemistry, enabling different chemical transformations, and reducing the need to use stoichiometric reactions for the manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Taking the cytochrome P450 enzyme family as an example, they are present in all life forms and Regarding the chemical approaches investigated, most catalytic systems are still based on are responsible many reactions, such thethehydroxylation of saturated hydrogen carbon, homo-for andcatalyzing heterogeneous single-step reactions [6],as and recovery and purification of catalysts for epoxidation of double bonds,and. Since the 1960s, after the discovery of a hemeprotein able to catalyze the selective hydroxylation as inspiration by chemists to develop catalytic system models, able to perform in vitro the same of substrates, such as drugs and steroid hormones [34], biological enzyme systems were explored as catalytic reactions with highsystem selectivity efficiency mild conditions.
