Abstract

Without the additional involvement of axial ligand and organic solvent, the ionic manganese porphyrin [MnIII(BF4)T(N-Me-4-Py)P] [BF4]4(1d) immobilized in [BMIM]BF4 efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of styrene with a good activity (87% conv.) and epoxide selectivity (90%) under mild reaction conditions. The generality of 1d-[BMIM] BF4 system to the substrates of styrene derivatives with different electronical effects also lead to the pleasing results. The degradation of metalloporphyrin coming from the π-π stacking of porphyrin itself and the oxidation destruction was greatly suppressed in this built-up 1d-[BMIM] BF4 system.
