Selective extradiol oxygenation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol 1 with O2 catalysed by Fe2+ is achieved in THF in the presence of water; the different selectivity obtained by FeCl2 and FeCl3 in THF-H2O and THF-pyridine supports the explanation of the intra- and extra-diol oxygenations by Fe3+ and Fe2+, respectively, as proposed in the enzymatic systems.
