Selective Iron-Catalyzed Oxidation of Phenols and Arenes with Hydrogen Peroxide: Synthesis of Vitamin E Intermediates and Vitamin K3
Written by Konstanze Möller, Gerrit Wienhöfer, Kristin Schröder, Benoît Join, Kathrin Junge, Matthias Beller on July 26, 2010 – 10:06 am -Pumping iron! Convenient iron-based catalyst systems for the selective oxidation of arenes and phenols with hydrogen peroxide to give 1,4-quinones have been developed. This selective oxidation reaction takes place under mild conditions (room temperature, alcoholic solvents) with H2O2 as the terminal oxidant.
