An Iron Catalyst for Oxidation of Alkyl CH Bonds Showing Enhanced Selectivity for Methylenic Sites

Many are called but few are chosen: A nonheme iron complex catalyzes the oxidation of alkyl C-H bonds by using H(2)O(2) as the oxidant, showing an enhanced selectivity for secondary over tertiary C-H bonds (see scheme).
