Simple Iron Catalyst for Terminal Alkene Epoxidation

A μ-oxo-iron(III) dimer, [((phen)2(H2O)FeIII)2(μ-O)](ClO4)4, is an efficient epoxidation catalyst for a wide range of alkenes, including terminal alkenes, using peracetic acid as the oxidant. Low catalyst loadings, in situ catalyst preparation from common reagents, fast reaction times (
