Thiols using porphyrin complexes

Polymer-supported catalysts often have lower activities than the soluble catalysts because of the intraparticle diffusion resistance. In this case the immobilization of the complexes on colloidal polymers can increase the catalytic activity. Catalysts bound to polymer latexes were used in oxidation reactions, such as the Cu-catalyzed oxidation of ascorbic acid,12 the Co-catalyzed oxidation of tetralin,13 and the CoPc-catalyzed oxidation of butylphenol14 and thiols.1516 Mn(III)-porphyrin bound to colloidal anion exchange resin was... 

More traditional O2 oxidation experiments were attempted with the vaulted iron and manganese complexes in several solvents with many of the reducing agents (ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, thiols, borohydride, and amalgamated zinc) that have been used elsewhere in work with porphyrins and their derivatives. " The more promising systems are mentioned here. Various thiols, such as thioglycol ethyl ester and P-mercaptoethanol, were...
