Abstract

Two types of porphyrins (water-soluble and water-insoluble) were encapsulated in transparent monolithic silica gels. Their properties in solutions and at various steps of the sol–gel process were studied by absorption and emission electron spectroscopy. A photocatalytic system containing porphyrins immobilized in powdered silica gel for α-pinene biomimetic oxidation to pinocarveol, pinocarvone and myrtenol is reported. The impact of several parameters (visible light irradiation time, organic solvent, the presence of an electron acceptor/donor, and substrate concentration) on this biotransformation process was investigated and optimized. It was established that photochemical excitation of sol–gel immobilized metal-free porphyrins is crucial for catalyzed oxidation of monoterpenes.
