REGIOSELECTIVITY CHANGES IN HEXANE HYDROXYLATION BY IODOZOBENZENE CATALYZED BY TETRAARYLPORPHYRINATOIRON COMPLEXES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)99005-1

Regioselectivity of hexane hydroxylation by iodozobenzene was correlated with electronic and steric constants of substituted porphyrins and revealed the increase of the relative rate of an attack at terminal methyl- and methylene-groups of hexane in sterically hindered and electron-deficient porphyrinatoiron complexes.
