Mechanistically Driven Development of an Iron Catalyst for Selective Syn-Dihydroxylation of Alkenes with Aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide
Borrell, Margarida,Costas, Miquel
, p. 12821 - 12829 (2017)
Product release is the rate-determining step in the arene syn-dihydroxylation reaction taking place at Rieske oxygenase enzymes and is regarded as a difficult problem to be resolved in the design of iron catalysts for olefin syn-dihydroxylation with potential utility in organic synthesis. Toward this end, in this work a novel catalyst bearing a sterically encumbered tetradentate ligand based in the tpa (tpa = tris(2-methylpyridyl)amine) scaffold, [FeII(CF3SO3)2(5-tips3tpa)], 1 has been designed. The steric demand of the ligand was envisioned as a key element to support a high catalytic activity by isolating the metal center, preventing bimolecular decomposition paths and facilitating product release. In synergistic combination with a Lewis acid that helps sequestering the product, 1 provides good to excellent yields of diol products (up to 97% isolated yield), in short reaction times under mild experimental conditions using a slight excess (1.5 equiv) of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, from the oxidation of a broad range of olefins. Predictable site selective syn-dihydroxylation of diolefins is shown. The encumbered nature of the ligand also provides a unique tool that has been used in combination with isotopic analysis to define the nature of the active species and the mechanism of activation of H2O2. Furthermore, 1 is shown to be a competent synthetic tool for preparing O-labeled diols using water as oxygen source.

The influence of a 2-pyridinyl substituent on the catalytic performance of aryl iodides as catalyst in iodine(III) chemistry was explored. An efficient Lewis base adduct between the pyridine nitrogen and the electrophilic iodine(III) center was identified and confirmed by X-ray analysis. This arrangement was shown to generate a kinetically competent superior catalyst structure for the catalytic dioxygenation of alkenes. It introduces the concept of Lewis base adduct formation as a kinetic factor in iodine(I/III) catalysis. (Figure presented.).
Manganese(III)-Mediated γ-Lactone Annulation
Fristad, William E.,Peterson, John R.
, p. 10 - 18 (2007/10/02)
The annulation of a γ-lactone ring onto an alkene by manganese(III) acetate oxidation of acetic acid was investigated.The regioselectivity of addition to unsymmetrically substituted alkenes is reported along with the stereoselectivity of addition to various acyclic and cyclic alkenes.Alkenes with ionization potentials above 8.2 eV were found to react in good yield.The role of acetic anhydride in these reactions was studied, and it was shown to be oxidized faster than acetic acid and also led to different products.The fate of oxidized acetic acid or anhydridein the absence of suitable acceptor molecule has also been quantitatively identified.The relationship of enolizability, or C-H acidity, of the carboxylic acid being oxidized was established quantitatively.
