Abstract

Selective α-oxidation of ethers under aerobic conditions is a long-pursued transformation; however, a green and efficient catalytic version of this reaction remains challenging. Herein, we report a new family of iron catalysts capable of promoting chemoselective α-oxidation of a range of ethers with excellent mass balance and high turnover numbers under 1 atm of O2 with no need for any additives. Unlike metalloenzymes and related biomimetics, the ...
