Mechanistic studies of the aromatic hydroxylation by high-valent iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin pi-cation radicals revealed that the aromatic oxidation involves an initial electrophilic attack on the pi-system of the aromatic ring to produce a tetrahedral radical or cationic sigma-complex. The mechanism was proposed on the basis of experimental results such as a large negative Hammett rho value and an inverse kinetic isotope effect. By carrying out isotope labeling studies, the oxygen in oxygenated products was found to derive from the iron-oxo porphyrin intermediates.
高价铁(IV)-氧代卟啉π-阳离子自由基对芳烃羟基化的机理研究表明,芳烃氧化涉及对芳环π体系的初始亲电进攻,以生成四面体自由基或阳离子σ-络合物。该机理是基于诸如大的负哈米特ρ值和逆动力学同位素效应等实验结果提出的。通过进行同位素标记研究,发现氧化产物中的氧来自铁-氧代卟啉中间体。
