Mechanistic Studies on the O_2-mediated Oxidation of Olefins in the Presence of (Schiff-base)Mn(III)Catalyst and NaBH_4

摘要

Molecular oxygen would be the most desirable oxidant in organic synthesis due to its economically and environmentally favorable properties.A lot of efforts has long been made to utilize the oxygen molecule as the oxidizing reagent under mild reaction conditions.Probably,the most successful strategies have been the employment of the transition metals as the catalyst for the activation of oxygen molecule.
