Aerobic Oxidations Catalyzed by Chromium Corroles

Abstract

Oxochromium(V) complexes of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole and brominated derivatives oxygenate substrates (triphenylphosphine and norbornene) with concomitant production of chromium(III). Regeneration of Cr^VO by reaction of dioxygen with Cr^(III) completes an aerobic catalytic cycle, with very large solvent effects; in acetonitrile, rapid initial turnovers observed initially are shut down by formation of Cr^(IV)O, while in toluene, THF, and methanol, relatively slow reactions are further inhibited by product formation.
