The generally proposed mechanism for the reaction between non-heme Fe-oxo complexes and alkane C–H bonds involves a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reaction step with a radical pair intermediate that then has competitive radical rebound, dissociation, or desaturation pathways. Here, we report density functional theory-based quasiclassical direct dynamics trajectories that examine post-HAT reaction dynamics. Trajectories revealed that the radical pair intermediate can be a nonstatistical type intermediate without complete internal vibrational redistribution and post-HAT selectivity is generally determined by dynamic effects. Fast rebound trajectories occur through dynamic matching between the rotational motion of the newly formed Fe–OH bond and collision with the alkane radical, and all of this occurs through a nonsynchronous dynamically concerted process that circumvents the radical pair intermediate structure. For radical pair dissociation, trajectories proceeded to the radical pair intermediate for a very brief time, followed by complete dissociation. These trajectories provide a new viewpoint and model to understand the inherent reaction pathway selectivity for non-heme Fe-oxo-mediated C–H functionalization reactions.
