Going ferryl : Fe II complexes with two isomeric bispidine ligands catalyze the oxidation of cyclooctene with H 2 O 2 in MeCN under aerobic conditions with high selectivity for the epoxide (see scheme; L=bispidine ligand). An {Fe IV O} complex is postulated to be the oxidant, formed by the homolytic cleavage of the OO bond of an {Fe III ‐OOH} intermediate. Performing the reaction under argon gives a mixture of cis and trans diols as well as the epoxide.
