Radical chemistry of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Part 1. Studies of the FeIII–TBHP mechanism

Abstract

By maintaining the iron catalyst in the ferric state, the oxidation of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with TBHP affords exclusively tert-butyl-peroxylated products. Mechanistic interpretation does not require a higher valence state of iron than FeIII. La chimie radicalaire de l'hydroperoxyde de tert-butyle (TBHP). Partie 1. Etudes me′canistiques du système FeIII–TBHP. En maintenant le fer au degre′ d'oxydation III, l'oxydation du 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl phe′nol par TBHP conduit à la formation exclusive de produits peroxyle′s. L'interpre′tation me′canistique n'implique pas la participation d'une espèce de haute valence de fer.
