Abstract

The manganese complex Mn(S-PMB)(CF3SO3)2 was proven to be highly efficient in the catalytic oxidation of several benzylic and aliphatic secondary alcohols with H2O2 as the oxidant and acetic acid as the additive. A maximum turnover number of 4700 was achieved in the alcohol oxidation. In addition, the Hammett analysis unveiled the electrophilic nature of this manganese catalyst with N4 ligand.
