Effective Proficiency of Manganese Porphyrins as Catalysts in Chemical Transformations: A Review

Porphyrin ligands are well-known for their promising tendency to produce metal porphyrin complexes of great significance. Out of different metal porphyrins, manganese porphyrins are one of the most valuable metal porphyrins due to effective catalytic performance and potential in many reactions like C-H isocyanation, the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides, epoxidation, oxygen reduction reaction, depolymerization reactions, oxidation of aromatic alcohols, selective oxidation of cycloalkenes/ alkanes, aliphatic C-H chlorination, dehydrogenation of alcohols, dye degradation, BSA nitration and others. Hence, in this review, the authors have best tried to present an effective insight overview of these aforementioned applications with the help of some recent studies for signifying the value of manganese porphyrins as a competent catalyst.
