Abstract
A structural synthetic model of the iron(IV)-oxo-halide active species of non-heme iron dependent halogenases is reported. Compounds with general formula [Fe(IV)(O)(X)(Pytacn)](+) (1-X, X = Cl, Br) have been prepared and characterized spectroscopically and chemically with regard to their oxidizing ability. 1-X performs hydrogen-atom abstraction of C-H bonds at reaction rates 2-3 times faster than the corresponding solvato dicationic species, thus modelling the first step in C-H functionalization taking place in natural halogenation.Entities:
