New Strategy for Synthesis of Bis-Pocket Metalloporphyrins Enabling Regioselective Catalytic Oxidation of Alkanes

Cytochrome P450 selectively hydroxylates the ω and ω-1 positions of fatty acids. Among synthetic oxidizing catalysts, Suslick’s bis-pocket porphyrin Mn or Fe complex achieved ω oxidation for the first time, but the yield in the preparation of the catalyst was poor due to steric hindrance, and in add...
