Abstract

The hydroxylation of cyclohexane by t-butyl hydroperoxide using [Fe₂O(TPA)₂(H₂O)₂]⁴⁺ (1, TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) as the catalyst has been investigated with the use of a syringe pump to control the concentration of the alkyl hydroperoxide. Unlike an alkoxy radical-based radical chain autoxidation mechanism, the reaction observed produces only alcohol (no ketone) with a deuterium kinetic isotope effect of 10, similar to heme catalyzed hydroxylations. An alkylperoxoiron(III) intermediate can be trapped at -40°C and characterized by a number of spectroscopic methods. A mechanistic scheme is proposed involving this intermediate which either serves as the precursor to the metal-based oxidant or oxidizes the substrate directly.
