afford α-aminoalkyl radicals, which can be coupled with electrophilic partners to afford
various tetrahydroquinolines. Mechanistically, the Fe (phen) n 2+/3+ catalytic cycle is
maintained by O2 or a TBHP oxidant, and the presence of the oxygen bound iron complex,
Fe (III)–OO (H), was elucidated by electron paramagnetic resonance and electrospray
ionization mass spectrometry. This redox-selective nonheme iron catalyst behaves similarly …
