Fe(TAML)Li/tert-butyl hydroperoxide as a new combination for benzylic C–H oxidation

[Display omitted] A new and efficient methodology was developed for the selective benzylic C–H oxidation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant and Fe(TAML)Li as the catalyst. The oxidation of various simple benzylic compounds was carried out with good to excellent yields and/or selectivity....

Description
Summary:[Display omitted] A new and efficient methodology was developed for the selective benzylic C–H oxidation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant and Fe(TAML)Li as the catalyst. The oxidation of various simple benzylic compounds was carried out with good to excellent yields and/or selectivity. A plausible mechanism for the reaction is proposed.
