The use of tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant in Gif-type systems (GoAgg^IV and GoAgf^V) catalyzed by various Fe(III) species is examined. Regioselectivity studids of these systems have revealed several characteristics similar to those observed for other prdviously reported Gif-type reactions. A common rdaction pathway for the GoAgg^IV and GoAgg^V oxidation systems and other Gif-type reactions (from alkane via alkyl hydroperoxide to ketone or alcohol) is seen.
