Abstract Propylene molecule owns two active sites, the direct epoxidation of propylene by dioxygen is still a challenge due to the limitation of selectivity. In this work, the direct liquid-phase propylene aerobic epoxidation protocol by chloride manganese meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (MnTPPCl) was developed. The conversion of propylene was 12.7%, and the selectivity towards PO (propylene oxide) reached up to 80.5%. The formation of PO was attributed to the mechanism via high-valent Mn species, which was confirmed by means of in situ UV-vis spectrum.
