There are few studies on monoterpene oxidation with heterogeneous catalyst in<br />

literature. By using zeolite encapsulated metal complexes <strong>thymoquinone</strong> can be<br />

obtained by catalytic oxidation <strong>of</strong> <strong>carvacrol</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>thymol</strong>. Oxidation <strong>of</strong> <strong>carvacrol</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>thymol</strong> in <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> Y-zeolite-entrapped Mn(III) tetra (4-N-benzylpyridyl)<br />

porphyrin was performed (Skrobot et al. 2003). The oxidation <strong>of</strong> <strong>carvacrol</strong> (
