Abstract

Abstract The addition of carboxylic acids enhances the rate and selectivity of alkene oxidations catalyzed by [(bpmen) Fe (OTf) 2](bpmen= N, N′-dimethyl-N, N′-bis (2- pyridylmethyl)-1, 2-diaminoethane). The syntheses and characterizations of four derivatives of this iron complex with varying substitutions on the pyridine ring and with a substituted piperazine backbone are reported. These [(L) Fe (OTf) 2] complexes and [(bpmen) Fe (OTf ...
