Description
Summary:When the dichloroiron(II) complex of the tetradentate bispidine ligand L=3,7-dimethyl-9-oxo-2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-1,5-dicarboxylate methyl ester is oxidized with H2O2, tBuOOH, or iodosylbenzene, the high-valent FeO complex efficiently oxidizes and halogenates cyclohexane. Kinetic D isotope effects and the preference for the abstraction of tertiary over secondary carbon-bound hydrogen atoms (quantified in the halogenation of adamantane) indicate that CH activation is the rate-determining step. The efficiencies (yields in stoichiometric and turnover numbers in catalytic reactions), product ratios (alcohol vs. bromo- vs. chloroalkane), and kinetic isotope effects depend on the oxidant. These results suggest different pathways with different oxidants, and these may include iron(IV)- and iron(V)-oxo complexes as well as oxygen-based radicals.
