Alkene epoxidation catalysed by ligand-bound supported metalloporphyrins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)79070-8

Iron(III) and manganese(III) tetra(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin bound to surface imidazole and pyridine groups on solid supports are efficient catalysts for the expoxidation of cyclooctene by iodosylbenzene.
