In this work, the highly efficient oxidation of aromatic amines catalyzed by [Mn(TPP)Cl] immobilized on fucntionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes with 4-aminophenol is reported. This heterogenized catalyst was used as an efficient and reusable catalyst for oxidation of a variety ofaromatic amines with sodium periodate under mild conditions. The catalyst, [Mn(TPP)Cl@APMWCNT], was characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The catalyst was reused several times without loss of its activity. The effect of reaction parameters such as solvent and oxidant in the oxidation of aromatic amines was also investigated
