“…The biomimetic oxidation of hydrocarbons and nitrogen-and sulfur-containing compounds with different oxygen donors such as PhIO, NaOCl, H 2 O 2 , periodate, amine N-oxides and n Bu 4 NHSO 5 (TBAO) have been extensively studied. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Iron and manganese porphyrins bearing halogen substituents on the periphery of the porphyrin ring have been shown to be particularly efficient for epoxidation and hydroxylation reactions. [21][22][23] Such porphyrins are also more resistant to degradation via free-radical attack or direct oxidation of porphyrin ring than those containing electron-donating substituents.…”
