Selectively aerobic oxidation of CC and allylic CH bonds in α-pinene over simple metalloporphyrins

Simple metalloporphyrins (TPPM) were employed as the catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of α-pinene in the absence of co-catalyst and solvents, and the catalytic selectivity of metalloporphyrins for aerobic oxidation of double bond and allylic CH of α-pinene was investigated.
