Synthesis and application of new cationic Mn(III)-salphen complexes for catalytic epoxidation of olefins to epoxides in a homogeneous reaction media have been reported. The experimental data showed that the cationic salphen is more active than its neutral form. The acceleration of the reaction rate is attributed to the phase-transfer capability of the built-in phenazinium salt of the Mn(III)-salphen catalyst.Résumé : On a effectué la synthèse et examiné le domaine d'application d'un nouveau complexe cationique, le Mn(III)-salphène, pour la transformation catalytique d'oléfines en époxydes, dans un milieu réactionnel homogène. Les données expérimentales montent que le salphène cationique est plus actif que sa forme neutre. L'augmentation de la vitesse de réaction est attribuée à la capacité de transfert de charge du sel de phénazinium inclus dans le catalyseur Mn(III)-salphène.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
