Abstract:Manganese catalysts that activate hydrogen peroxide carry out several different hydrocarbon oxidation reactions with high stereoselectivity. The commonly proposed mechanism for these reactions involves a key manganese(III)-hydroperoxo intermediate, which decays via O–O bond heterolysis to generate a Mn(V)–oxo species that institutes substrate oxidation. Due to the scarcity of characterized MnIII–hydroperoxo complexes, MnIII–alkylperoxo complexes are employed to understand factors that affect the mechanism of t… Show more
