Abstract

Mild and efficient oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols with sodium periodate catalyzed by Mn(TPyP), [manganese(III)tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin], supported on chloromethylated polystyrene, [Mn(TPyP)-CMP], at room temperature were reported. This catalyst can be reused consecutively four times in the oxidation of 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol in 97% yield without significant loss of its activity. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
