A number of salen derivatives bearing electronegative substituents and their corresponding iron(III) chloro complexes have been prepared. Several of the complexes catalyze aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene, primarily to allylic oxidation products. Evidence supports a radical chain autoxidation mechanism, with the complex functioning to decompose intermediate alkyl hydroperoxides. Activity is observed only for complexes with relatively high Fe(III/II) reduction potentials, but the incomplete correlation of activity with potential indicates that more subtle structural and electronic effects also play an important role in determining the rates of the catalytic reactions.
