Dramatically Accelerated Selective Oxygen-Atom Transfer by a Nonheme Iron(IV)-Oxo Complex: Tuning of the First and Second Coordination Spheres
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new ligand N3Py(amide)SR and its Fe(II) complex [Fe(II)(N3Py(amide)SR)](BF4)2 (1) are described. Reaction of 1 with PhIO at -40 °C gives metastable [Fe(IV)(O)(N3Py(amide)SR)](2+) (2), containing a sulfide ligand and a single amide H-bond donor in proximity to the terminal oxo group. Direct evidence for H-bonding is seen in a structural analogue, [Fe(II)(Cl)(N3Py(amide)SR)](BF4)2 (3). Complex 2 exhibits rapid O-atom transfer (OAT) toward external sulfide substrates, but no intramolecular OAT. However, direct S-oxygenation does occur in the reaction of 1 with mCPBA, yielding sulfoxide-ligated [Fe(II)(N3Py(amide)S(O)R)](BF4)2 (4). Catalytic OAT with 1 was also observed.

Tuning reactivity and mechanism in oxidation reactions by mononuclear nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes.
Mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes generate high-valent iron(IV)-oxo intermediates that effect metabolically important oxidative transformations in the catalytic cycle of dioxygen activation. In 2003, researchers first spectroscopically characterized a mononuclear nonheme iron(IV)-oxo intermediate in the reaction of taurine: α-ketogultarate dioxygenase (TauD). This nonheme iron enzyme with an iro...

The ring size effect of macrocyclic TMC ligands in nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes has been examined in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions; an iron(IV)-oxo complex bearing a smaller TMC ligand is more reactive in both HAT and OAT reactions, resulting from its high Fe(IV/III) redox potential.

Many enzymes in nature utilize molecular oxygen on an iron center for the catalysis of substrate hydroxylation. In recent years, great progress has been made in understanding the function and properties of iron(IV)-oxo complexes; however, little is known about the reactivity of iron(II)-superoxo intermediates in substrate activation. It has been proposed recently that iron(II)-superoxo intermed...

a-Ketoglutarate-dependent enzymes catalyze many important biological oxidation/oxygenation reactions. Iron(IV)–oxo intermediates have been established as key oxidants in these oxidation reactions. While most reported model iron(II)–a-keto acid complexes exhibit stoichiometric reactivity, selective oxidation of substrates with dioxygen catalyzed by biomimetic iron(II)–a-keto acid complexes remai...
