title: Oxidation of alcohols using a manganese (II) complex based on a pentakis benzimidazole amide ligand.
abstract: A pentakis benzimidazole based penta-amide ligand diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N',N''-pentakis(2-methyl benzimidazolyl)penta-amide [GBDTPA] has been synthesized and utilized to prepare Mn (II) complexes of general composition [Mn(2)(GBDTPA)X(4)], where X is an exogenous anionic ligand (X = Cl(-), NO(3)(-) and Br(-)). The oxidation of alcohols has been investigated using [Mn(2)(GBDTPA)Cl(4)] as the catalyst and TBHP as an alternate source of oxygen. The respective aldehydic products have been isolated and characterized by (1)H NMR.
