Aerobic Oxidation of Cyclohexane Catalyzed by Fe(III)(5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin)Cl in Sub- and Super-Critical CO2

Abstract
Aerobic oxidation of cyclohexane to yield cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in the presence of a Fe-porphyrin catalyst bearing meso-pentafluorophenyl group and acetaldehyde has been efficiently enhanced in pressurized CO2. The reaction rate takes a maximum value in the neighborhood of critical pressure.
