Abstract

Binuclear iron (III) phthalocyanine-(μ-oxodimer) complex was tested in catalytic oxygenation reactions of several hydrocarbons using tetrabutylammonium oxone as the oxidant in dichloromethane solution at room temperature. Results of the study demonstrate that this is an extremely powerful catalytic system for oxidative conversion of aromatic hydrocarbons (anthracene, 2-tert-butylanthracene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 9, 10-dihydroanthracene, 1, 2, ...
