Some metalloporphyrins (MTPPs, M = Ni, Fe, Co, and Cu) have been introduced as catalysts for the dehydrogenative aromatization of hydrocarbons using molecular oxygen as the ultimate oxidant. The results revealed that NiTPP could efficiently catalyze the dehydroaromatization of 9,10-dihydroanthracene by O₂ to anthracene, and various substrates could be tolerated. According to the obtained results, a possible reaction pathway for the aerobic dehydrogenative aromatization of hydrocarbons under nickel porphyrin has been proposed.

卟啉镍与分子氧催化氧化脱氢制烃

引入了一些金属卟啉（MTPPs，M = Ni，Fe，Co和Cu）作为使用分子氧作为最终氧化剂对烃类进行脱氢芳构化的催化剂。结果表明，NiTPP可以有效地催化O ₂将9，10-二氢蒽脱氢芳构化为蒽，并且可以耐受各种底物。根据获得的结果，提出了在卟啉镍下对烃类进行好氧脱氢芳构化的可能反应途径。
