Various 1,4-diols are easily accessible from alkenes through iron-catalyzed aerobic hydration. The reaction system consists of a user-friendly iron phthalocyanine complex, sodium borohydride, and molecular oxygen. Furthermore, the effect of additional ligands on the iron complex was examined for a model reaction. The second hydroxy group is installed by direct C(sp3)-H oxygenation, which is based on a [1,5] hydrogen shift process of a transient alkoxy radical that is formed by formal hydration of the olefin. One more hydroxy group: A method for the synthesis of 1,4-diols from simple alkenes has been developed. This unusual transformation entails an iron-catalyzed aerobic hydration and is achieved with convenient reagents, such as molecular oxygen. The formation of an intermediary alkoxy radical, which undergoes a [1,5] hydrogen shift, is likely to be essential for C(sp3)-H hydroxylation. Pc=phthalocyanine.

We report herein Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxygenation of aliphatic C-H bonds with hydroperoxides, which proceeds by 1,5-H radical shift of putative oxygen-centered radicals (O-radicals) derived from hydroperoxides followed by trapping of the resulting carboncentered radicals with molecular oxygen.
