Abstract

An Fe^II complex, 1, having a pentadentate ligand with an NHC moiety catalyzes substrate oxidation to afford 2e⁻-oxidized products with high selectivity by suppression of overoxidation in water. A Bell–Evance–Polanyi plot for the substrate oxidation catalyzed by 1 exhibited an inflection point around 86 kcal mol⁻¹, indicating strong C–H abstraction ability of the reactive species derived from 1.
