Abstract

We report the use of simple metalloporphyrins (T (p-Cl) PPMnCl, T (p-Cl) PPCo, T (p-Cl) PPFeCl, T (p-Cl) PPCu or [T (p-Cl) PPFe] 2O) as a catalyst for the direct oxidation of 2- methoxy-4-methylphenol to vanillin with molecular oxygen under mild conditions. The research results showed that the type of metalloporphyrin used, catalyst loading, temperature, reaction time, the amount of NaOH, solvent, the amount of solvent and the ...
