Abstract

The present study describes the first example of the stoichiometric and catalytic oxidation of flavanone by synthetic nonheme oxoiron(IV) complexes and their precursor iron(II) complexes with m-CPBA as the terminal oxidant. These models, including detailed kinetic, mechanistic and computational studies, may serve as the biomimics of flavone synthase (FS) enzymes.
