“…12,[33][34][35][36][37][38] These salen complexes are efficient catalysts in homogeneous and heterogeneous environment reactions such as olen ring opening and polymerization, 39,40 allyl alkylation, 41 alkene epoxidation, 12,42,43 alkane oxidation, 38 and drug oxidation 37,[44][45][46][47] and act as P450 cytochromes model systems. 10,12,25,38,45,[48][49][50][51][52] An advantage of the Jacobsen complex is its simple preparation, for example, it can be synthesized on a large scale (in the order of kilograms) at a low cost (US$41.40 per gram). 53 Furthermore, biomimetic chemistry has increasingly investigated the role of the protein matrix surrounding the CYP heme group, 32 which controls active oxidant reactivity and prevents a Grupo de Pesquisa em Bioinorgânica e Catálise (GPBioCat), Departamento de Química Geral e Inorgânica, IQ-UFBA, R.
