Diiron(IV)-oxo species are proposed to effect the cleavage of strong C-H bonds by nonheme diiron enzymes such as soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and fatty acid desaturases. However, synthetic mimics of such diiron(IV) oxidants are rare. Herein we report the reaction of (TPA*)Fe (1) (TPA*=tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridyl-2-methyl)amine) in CH CN with 4 equiv CAN and 200 equiv HClO at 20 °C to form a complex with an [Fe (μ-O) ] core. CAN and HClO play essential roles in this unprecedented transformation, in which the comproportionation of Fe -O-Ce and Fe =O/Ce species is proposed to be involved in the assembly of the [Fe (μ-O) ] core.
二价铁(IV)-氧物种被认为可以通过非血红素二铁酶(如可溶性甲烷单加氧酶(sMMO)和脂肪酸去饱和酶)来断裂强 C-H 键。然而,这种二价铁(IV)氧化剂的合成模拟物很少。在此,我们报告了在 20°C 下,(TPA*)Fe(1)(TPA*=三(3,5-二甲基-4-甲氧基-2-甲基)吡啶-2-甲基)在 CH 3 CN 中与 4 当量的 CAN 和 200 当量的 HClO 反应,形成具有[Fe(μ-O)]核心的配合物。CAN 和 HClO 在这个前所未有的转化中起着至关重要的作用,其中 Fe-O-Ce 和 Fe=O/Ce 物种的等价体被认为参与了[Fe(μ-O)]核心的组装。
