“Twin-coronet” porphyrins bearing optically active 1,1′-bitetrahydronaphthalene derivatives on the both faces of the porphyrin were prepared as enantioselective oxidation catalysts modeling on cytochrome P-450s. The eclipsed isomer of the corresponding iron(III) porphyrins catalyzed epoxidation of styrenes substituted with electron-withdrawing groups in high e.e. (61–89%) and high product selectivity
在卟啉的两个面上带有光学活性 1,1'-双四氢萘衍生物的“双冠”卟啉被制备为模拟细胞色素 P-450 的对映选择性氧化催化剂。相应的铁 (III) 卟啉的失色异构体在高 ee (61–89%) 和高产物选择性下催化被吸电子基团取代的苯乙烯的环氧化。
