The iron(II) complexes [Fe(bpy) 3 ](OTf) 2  (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; OTf = CF 3 SO 3 ) ( 1 ) and [Fe(bpydeg) 3 ](OTf) 2  (bpydeg =  N  4 , N  4 -bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl) [2,2'-bipyridine]-4,4'-dicarboxamide) ( 2 ), the latter being a newly synthesized ligand, were employed as catalyst precursors for the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol with hydrogen peroxide in water, using either microwave or conventional heating. With the same oxidant and medium the oxidation of glycerol was also explored in the presence of  1  and  2 , as well as of two similar iron(II) complexes bearing tridentate ligands,  i.e ., [Fe(terpy) 2 ](OTf) 2  (terpy = 2, 6-di(2-pyridyl)pyridine )  ( 3 ) and [Fe(bpa) 2 ](OTf) 2  (bpa = bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amine) ( 4 ): in most reactions the major product formed was formic acid, although with careful tuning of the experimental conditions significant amounts of dihydroxyacetone were obtained. Addition of heterocyclic amino acids ( e.g. , picolinic acid) increased the reaction yields of most catalytic reactions. The effect of such additives on the evolution of the catalyst precursors was studied by spectroscopic (NMR, UV-visible) and ESI-MS techniques.
