Resumen
An aminoiron(III) porphyrin immobilized on an alumina matrix was prepared and used as catalyst for the oxidation of organic substrates. Powder alumina had been prepared by a non-hydrolytic sol-gel method through condensation of aluminum chloride with anhydrous ethanol. Then, iron(III) [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-aminophenyl)-porphyrin] was immobilized on the alumina powder under magnetic stirring, reflux, and inert atmosphere. Ultraviolet–visible and infrared spectroscopies, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis were applied for characterizing the resulting material, confirming that the ironporphyrin was immobilized on the alumina support. The catalytic activity of ironporphyrin/alumina was evaluated in the oxidation of (Z)-cyclooctene and cyclohexane and in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone using iodosylbenzene or hydrogen peroxide as oxygen donors. The novel immobilized catalyst proved to be a promising system for the efficient and selective oxidation of the organic substrates with 85–92% selectivity to the epoxide in the oxidation of alkenes and 25–41% to the ketone in the oxidation of cyclohexane. As for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone, good conversion to ԑ-caprolactone was observed as well. The material is a reusable heterogeneous catalyst, which makes it more economically feasible than its homogeneous counterpart
