vo2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of al-mcm-41 designated as vo2+/al-mcm-41 or vol2/al-mcm-41, were prepared and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), ft-ir, bet nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. vo2+/al-mcm-41 and vol2/al-mcm-41 were found to catalyze...

Dioxoruthenium(VI) porphyrins including those containing chiral porphyrinato ligands can be readily prepared by oxidation of [RuII(Por)(CO)(MeOH)] with PhIO or metachloroperoxybenzoic acid. Similar reactions with PhINTs gave [Ru(Por)(NTs)2] isolated as air stable solids at room temperature. The [Ru(Por)O2] complexes are competent oxidants for epoxidation of alkenes with high selectivities. Enan...

A heterogeneous catalyst containing manganese Schiff base complex (derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzadehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine) is produced by covalent anchoring in MCM-41 matrix. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), inductivity coupled plasma (ICP), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, N2 sorbtion-desorbtion isotherm and by tr...

Here, we focused on a simple enzymatic epoxidation of alkenes using lipase and phenylacetic acid. The immobilised Candida antarctica lipase B, Novozym 435 was used to catalyse the formation of peroxy acid instantly from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and phenylacetic acid. The peroxy phenylacetic acid generated was then utilised directly for in situ oxidation of alkenes. A variety of alkenes were oxi...

Methylobacterium sp. strain CRL-26 grown in a fermentor contained methane monooxygenase activity in soluble fractions. Soluble methane monooxygenase catalyzed the epoxidation/hydroxylation of a variety of hydrocarbons, including terminal alkenes, internal alkenes, substituted alkenes, branched-chain alkenes, alkanes (C(1) to C(8)), substituted alkanes, branched-chain alkanes, carbon monoxide, e...

In this work, a polyimide (PI) containing triazole units was synthesized using 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and pyromellitic dianhydride in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. This polymer was used as the support of manganese (III) tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin acetate to attain a heterogeneous catalyst; namely Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI. The synthesized PI and Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI were characterized by di...

the nanoparticles of ti-si mixed oxides (ntso) with rutile structure were prepared by sol-gel method in a mixture of alcohol and water as solvent. the solid product was characterized by xrd, ftir, sem, tem, uv, tga and laser raman spectroscopy. the catalytic activity of ntso (5-10 nm) was investigated in the epoxidation of cis stilbene, trans stilbene, and norbornene by using oxidants such as t...

90 A practical method of olefin epoxidation was developed by combining FeCl3·6H2O and 1methylimidazole in acetone using H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. This system showed very good reactivity toward epoxidation of both terminal and substituted alkenes. The use of tridentate and tetradentate amine-bis(phenolate) ligands as additives was also examined. Modest improvement in selectivity was achieved...

The acidic group (-CO2H) of MultiWall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) converted to acyl chloride group (-COCl) producing of MVCNT@COCl. Then the reaction of MVCNT@COCl and MoO2(acac)2 resulted in direct immobilization of the MoO2(acac)2 and the formation of MVCNT@CO(acac)MoO2(acac) catalyst. In addition, the MVCNT@COCl was esterified...

Cell-free particulate fractions derived from methylotrophic bacteria catalyze the oxygen- and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent epoxidation of alkenes and hydroxylation of alkanes. Evidence presented indicates that the hydroxylation and epoxidation reactions are catalyzed by the same or a similar metal-containing monooxygenase.
