β¦ Synopsis
Ruthenium tetraarylporphyrins have been used as catalysts in the decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide. During this decomposition reaction the ruthenium tetraarylporphyrin/cyclohexyl hydroperoxide system is capable of hydroxylating the solvent, i.e. cyclohexane or cyclopentane. A proposal for the mechanism is presented. The hydroxylating capacity of various ruthenium complexes is discussed.

## Abstract The reaction between manganese(III) tetraarylporphyrins and cyclohexyl hydroperoxide has been investigated. Since pyridine increases the decomposition rate of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, all experiments were performed in the presence of pyridine. Experiments with 2,6βdiβtertβbutylpyridine
