Abstract:
Oxochromium(V) complexes of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole and brominated derivatives oxygenate substrates (triphenylphosphine and norbornene) with concomitant production of chromium(III). Regeneration of CrVO by reaction of dioxygen with CrIII completes an aerobic catalytic cycle, with very large solvent effects; in acetonitrile, rapid initial turnovers observed initially are shut down by formation of CrIVO, while in toluene, THF, and methanol, relatively slow reactions are further inhibited by product formation.
