Iron Catalyst for Oxidation in Water: Surfactant-type Iron Complex-catalyzed Mild and Efficient Oxidation of Aryl Alkaries Using Aqueous TBHP as Oxidant in Water

摘要

Surfactant-type iron(III) complex, Fe2O(DS)4, was found to be effective for benzylic oxidation of simple aryl alkanes using aqueous t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant.
