Homogeneous Aqueous Oxidation of Organic Molecules by OxoneR and Catalysis by a Water-Soluble Manganese Porphyrin Complex

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(94)02420-G

Peroxymonosulfate (KHSO5) oxidizes a wide variety of water-soluble organic molecules in aqueous solutions, and the reactions are generally more rapid in phosphate buffer (pH 6-7) than in pure water.A water-soluble porphyrin complex, meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride, catalyzes epoxidation and hydroxylation under neutral pH conditions.
