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