Abstract

Abstract Hypervalent iodine species have a pronounced catalytic effect on the metalloporphyrin-mediated oxygenations of aromatic hydrocarbons. In particular, the oxidation of anthracene to anthraquinone with Oxone readily occurs at room temperature in aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of 5–20 mol% of iodobenzene and 5 mol% of a water- soluble iron (III)-porphyrin complex. 2-tert-Butylanthracene and phenanthrene also can be ...
