The hydroxylation of benzoic acid by hydrogen peroxide initiated by 589 nm radiation is catalyzed by the following Fe(III) compounds: FeCl3, K3, Na2, and K3.This photochemical reaction can be effectively sensitized by methylene blue.

As an efficient heterogenous N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst, MOF-Zn-NHC was used in the aerobic oxidation of aryl aldehydes to their corresponding carbocyclic acids via an anomeric based oxidation. Features such as mild reaction conditions and no need for a co-catalyst or oxidative reagent can be considered as the major advantages of the presented method in this study. This journal is
Photocatalytic synthesis of phenols mediated by visible light using KI as catalyst

A transition-metal-free hydroxylation of iodoarenes to afford substituted phenols is described. The reaction is promoted by KI under white LED light irradiation and uses atmospheric oxygen as oxidant. By the use of triethylamine as base and solvent, the corresponding phenols are obtained in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that KI and catalysis synergistically promote the cleavage of C-I bond to form free aryl radicals.

The cytochrome P450 metalloenzyme (CYP) CYP199A4 from Rhodopseudomonas palustris HaA2 catalyzes the highly efficient oxidation of para-substituted benzoic acids. Here we determined crystal structures of CYP199A4, and the binding and turnover parameters, with different meta-substituted benzoic acids in order to establish which criteria are important for efficient catalysis. When compared to the para isomers, the meta-substituted benzoic acids were less efficiently oxidized. For example, 3-formylbenzoic acid was oxidized with lower activity than the equivalent para isomer and 3-methoxybenzoic acid did not undergo O-demethylation by CYP199A4. The structural data highlighted that the meta-substituted benzoic acids bound in the enzyme active site in a modified position with incomplete loss of the distal water ligand of the heme moiety. However, for both sets of isomers the meta- or para-substituent pointed towards, and was in close proximity, to the heme iron. The absence of oxidation activity with 3-methoxybenzoic acid was assigned to the observation that the C[sbnd]H bonds of this molecule point away from the heme iron. In contrast, in the para isomer they are in an ideal location for abstraction. These findings were confirmed by using the bulkier 3-ethoxybenzoic acid as a substrate which removed the water ligand and reoriented the meta-substituent so that the methylene hydrogens pointed towards the heme, enabling more efficient oxidation. Overall we show relatively small changes in substrate structure and position in the active site can have a dramatic effect on the activity.
