Three plausible routes for the five-membered ring expansion in the equilibrating 2-cyclopentyl-2-propyl and 1-(2-propyl)cyclopentyl cations 1A/1B were located on the PES, all calculated at the MP4/6-31G(d)//MP2/6-31G(d) level of theory. In pathway I, the six-membered transition structure (TS-I) connects the less stable cyclopentyl cation 1A and the 1,2-dimethylcyclohexyl carbocation (2) via a barrier of 16.4 kcal/mol. In pathway II, which has a barrier of 16.3 kcal/mol, the methyl migration occurs first in the more stable 1B via transition structure TS-II. Pathway III involves the uphill hydride shift and formation of the secondary cation 3, which undergoes Wagner-Meerwein 1,2-isopropyl shift via a transition structure TS-III and the protonated carbocation intermediate 4. The barrier pathway III is for 17.0 kcal/mol. Experimental secondary deuterium isotope effects of the rearrangement were measured for the hexadeuterated 1A-d6/1B-d6 (kH/kD = 2.40) and tetradeuterated 1A-d4/1B-d4 (kH/kD = 0.18) cations by means of 1H NMR. Comparison of the experimental data with the theoretical values (kH/kD = 2.40 for 1B-d6 and kH/kD = 0.24 for 1B-d4, respectively) obtained with QUIVER revealed that pathway II is a major reaction route.

The reactivity of a mononuclear high-spin iron(III)-alkylperoxo intermediate [FeIII(t-BuLUrea)(OOCm)(OH2)]2+(2), generated from [FeII(t-BuLUrea)(H2O)(OTf)](OTf) (1) [t-BuLUrea=1,1′-(((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)azanediyl)bis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(3-(tert-butyl)urea), OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate] with cumyl hydroperoxide (CmOOH), toward the C?H and C=C bonds of hydrocarbons is reported. 2 oxygenates the strong C?H bonds of aliphatic substrates with high chemo- and stereoselectivity in the presence of 2,6-lutidine. While 2 itself is a sluggish oxidant, 2,6-lutidine assists the heterolytic O?O bond cleavage of the metal-bound alkylperoxo, giving rise to a reactive metal-based oxidant. The roles of the urea groups on the supporting ligand, and of the base, in directing the selective and catalytic oxygenation of hydrocarbon substrates by 2 are discussed.

A new μ-oxo diiron(III) complex of the lithium salt of the pyridine-based unsymmetrical ligand 3-[(3-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]propanoate (LiDPCPMPP), [Fe2(μ-O)(LiDPCPMPP)2](ClO4)2, has been synthesized and characterized. The ability of the complex to catalyze oxidation of several alkanes and alkenes has been investigated by using CH3COOH/H2O2 (1:1) as an oxidative system. Moderate activity in cyclohexane oxidation (TOF = 33 h-1) and good activity in cyclohexene oxidation (TOF = 72 h-1) were detected. Partial retention of configuration (RC = 53%) in cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane oxidation, moderate 3/2 selectivity (4.1) in adamantane oxidation, and the observation of a relatively high kinetic isotope effect for cyclohexane oxidation (KIE = 3.27) suggest partial metal-based oxidation, probably in tandem with free-radical oxidation. Low-temperature UV/Vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometric studies in the rapid positive detection mode indicate the formation of a transient peroxido species, [Fe2(O)(O2)(LiDPCPMPP)2]2+, which might be an intermediate in the metal-based component of the oxidation process. A μ-oxido diiron(III) complex, [Fe2(μ-O)(LiDPCPMPP)2](ClO4)2, was synthesized and characterized. This complex was used as catalyst in C-H bond oxidation with CH3COOH-H2O2 as chemical oxidant. Reactivity studies indicate that the oxidation process goes through a metal-based mechanism concomitant with a radical process.
