The first total synthesis of halioxepine is accomplished using a 1,4-addition for constructing the quaternary center at C10 and a halo etherification for the generation of the tertiary ether at C7. The correct structure of halioxepine was determined by assembling different enantiomeric building blocks and by changing the relative configuration between C10 and C15.
C-H oxidation by H2O2 and O2 catalyzed by a non-heme iron complex with a sterically encumbered tetradentate N-donor ligand

The compound N,N′-dineopentyl-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2- ethanediamine (dnbpn) and its ferrous complex [Fe(dnbpn)(OTf)2] were synthesized. The Fe(II) complex was used to catalyze the oxidation of hydrocarbons by H2O2 and O2. Although the catalyzed alkane oxidation by H2O2 displays a higher preference for secondary over tertiary carbons than those associated with most previously reported nonheme iron catalysts, the catalytic activity is markedly inferior. In addition to directing the catalyzed oxidation toward the less sterically congested C-H bonds of the substrates, the neopentyl groups destabilize the metal-based oxidants generated from H2O2 and the Fe(II) complex. The presence of benzylic substrates with weak C-H bonds stabilizes an intermediate which we have tentatively assigned as a high-spin ferric hydroperoxide species. The oxidant generated from O2 reacts with allylic and benzylic C-H bonds in the absence of a sacrificial reductant; less substrate dehydrogenation is observed than with related previously described systems that use O2 as a terminal oxidant.

Selective oxidation of alkyl C-H groups constitutes one of the highest challenges in organic synthesis. In this work, we show that mononuclear iron coordination complexes Λ-[Fe(CF3SO3) 2((S,S,R)-MCPP)] (Λ-1P), Δ-[Fe(CF3SO 3)2((R,R,R)-MCPP)] (Δ-1P), Λ-[Fe(CF 3SO3)2((S,S,R)-BPBPP)] (Λ-2P), and Δ-[Fe(CF3SO3)2((R,R,R)-BPBPP)] (Δ-2P) catalyze the fast, efficient, and selective oxidation of nonactivated alkyl C-H groups employing H2O2 as terminal oxidant. These complexes are based on tetradentate N-based ligands and contain iron centers embedded in highly structured coordination sites defined by two bulky 4,5-pinenopyridine donor ligands, a chiral diamine ligand backbone, and chirality at the metal (Λ or Δ). X-ray diffraction analysis shows that in Λ-1P and Λ-2P the pinene rings create cavity-like structures that isolate the iron site. The efficiency and regioselectivity in catalytic C-H oxidation reactions of these structurally rich complexes has been compared with those of Λ-[Fe(CF3SO3) 2((S,S)-MCP)] (Λ-1), Λ-[Fe(CF3SO 3)2((S,S)-BPBP)] (Λ-2), Δ-[Fe(CF 3SO3)2((R,R)-BPBP)] (Δ-2), Λ-[Fe(CH3CN)2((S,S)-BPBP)](SbF6) 2 (Λ-2SbF6), and Δ-[Fe(CH3CN) 2((R,R)-BPBP)](SbF6)2 (Δ-2SbF 6), which lack the steric bulk introduced by the pinene rings. Cavity-containing complexes Λ-1P and Λ-2P exhibit enhanced activity in comparison with Δ-1P, Δ-2P, Λ-1, Λ-2, and Λ-2SbF6. The regioselectivity exhibited by catalysts Λ-1P, Λ-2P, Δ-1P, and Δ-2P in the C-H oxidation of simple organic molecules can be predicted on the basis of the innate properties of the distinct C-H groups of the substrate. However, in specific complex organic molecules where oxidation of multiple C-H sites is competitive, the highly elaborate structure of the catalysts allows modulation of C-H regioselectivity between the oxidation of tertiary and secondary C-H groups and also among multiple methylene sites, providing oxidation products in synthetically valuable yields. These selectivities complement those accomplished with structurally simpler oxidants, including non-heme iron catalysts Λ-2 and Λ-2SbF6.
