Manganese(II) complexes with Bn-tpen as powerful catalysts of cyclohexene oxidation
{{output}}
Manganese(II) complex [(Bn-tpen)MnII]2+ activated dioxygen for oxidation of cyclohexene in acetonitrile (MeCN) and methanol (MeOH). In MeCN, ketone (2-cyclohexen-1-one), alcohol (2-cyclohexen-1-ol) and small amounts of epoxide (cyclohexene oxide) were produced... ...
