Hydroxylation of cyclohexane with -chloroperbenzoic acid was examined in the presence of an iron(III) complex supported by a trianionic planar tetradentate ligand. The present reaction system shows a high turnover number of 2750 with a high product selectivity of alcohol (93%). The turnover frequency was 0.51 s, and the second-order rate constant () for the C-H bond activation of cyclohexane was 1.08 M s, which is one of the highest values among the iron complexes in the oxidation of cyclohexane so far reported. The present catalytic system can be adapted to the hydroxylation of substrates having only primary C-H bonds such as 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane as well as gaseous alkanes such as butane, propane, and ethane. The involvement of an iron(III) acyl peroxido complex as the reactive species was suggested by spectroscopic measurements of the reaction solution.

In this study, Diels-Alder reaction was performed to sulfolene and endo/exo-diacetate compounds. After a series of reactions, new conduritol A and F analogs containing oxo-bridge and naphthalene rings in their structures were synthesized. To the starting compound, bromination, elimination, singlet oxygen reaction, acetylation, selective oxidation with osmium tetroxide (OsO), and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA), re-acetylation, and finally hydrolysis of the compounds by NH(g)/MeOH reactions were carried out.

Hydride abstraction represents a promising yet underexplored approach in the functionalization of C-H bonds. In this work, we report the oxidation of α-C-H bonds of ethers via oxoammonium catalysis using 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (CPBA) as the terminal chemical oxidant or by means of electrochemistry. Mechanistic studies revealed intricate equilibria and interconversion events between various catalytic intermediates in the presence of CPBA, which alone however was incompetent to drive catalytic turnover.

In this study, the reaction between 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)pyrrole and thiophenol under heating conditions afforded the new ligand 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)-5-(phenylthiomethyl)pyrrole 2. The reaction of 2 with -chloroperbenzoic acid provided sulfoxide 3 and sulfone 4 group-containing ligands. The reaction of 2 with copper(I) halides provided the binuclear complexes [Cu(μ-X){μ-CHN-2-(CHMepz)-5-(CHSPh)-κ-S,N}] (X = Cl, Br and I, 5-7) in high yields.

We report herein a synthetically useful catalytic system for aliphatic C-H oxidation with a mononuclear nonheme cobalt(II) complex and -chloroperbenzoic acid (-CPBA). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a high-valent cobalt-oxygen species (, cobalt(IV)-oxo or cobalt(III)-oxyl) is the oxidant that effects C-H oxidation a rate-determining hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) step.

Hydroxylation of aliphatic hydrocarbons requires highly reactive oxidants, but their strength can lead to undesired oxidation of the initially formed alcohols and solvents, undermining the product selectivity. To address these problems, we developed a novel catalytic system using fluorocarbon solvents. A cobalt complex supported by the fluorinated ligand, ,,',',″-pentakis-[CF(CF)(CH)]-diethylenetriamine (Rf-deta), acts as an efficient catalyst [turnover number (TON) = 1203, turnover frequency = 51 ± 1 min] for cyclohexane hydroxylation with the -chloroperbenzoic acid oxidant, achieving high alcohol selectivity (96%).
