Selective oxidation : The success of the title reaction (see scheme) is caused by the strong electron donation from the amidate moiety of the dpaq ligand to the iron center (dpaq=2‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)]amino‐ N ‐quinolin‐8‐yl‐acetamidate). This process facilitates the OO bond heterolysis of the intermediate Fe III OOH species to generate a selective oxidant without forming highly reactive hydroxyl radicals.
