Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a chiral Fe(iv)–oxo complex bearing an l-proline-derived aminopyridine ligand†
Abstract
A novel nonheme chiral Fe(IV)–oxo complex bearing an L-proline-derived aminopyridine was synthesized and spectroscopically characterized by UV-vis, CSI-TOF MS and EPR. The appropriate half-life of about 1 h at 0 °C allows us to study its reactivity in the C–H activation of various hydrocarbons in detail. In addition, its reactivity in asymmetric sulfoxidation and C–H hydroxylation was also investigated.
