'H NMR spectroscopic studies at low temperature (-70 "C) give evidence for the formation of a high-spin, five-coordinate intermediate, PFe11'OOC(CH3)3. On warming this decomposes to PFelI'OH (P = tetramesitylporphyrin, TMP) or PFe"'0Fe"'P (P = tetra-p-tolylporphyrin, TTP) with the formation of (TMP)Fe"=O as an observed intermediate in the first case. Treatment of PFe'1'OOC(CH3)3 at-70 "C with N-methylimidazole (MeIm) yields the intermediate (Me1m)PFeN=O. Organic products formed from this reaction are tert-butyl alcohol, di-tert-butyl peroxide, benzaldehyde, acetone, and benzyl-tert-butyl peroxide, which arise largely from a radical chain process initiated by the iron porphyrin but continuing without its intervention. The peroxidase, catalase, and cytochrome P-450 enzymes utilize alkyl hydroperoxides to generate high-valent oxoiron porphyrins.'-3 Extensive studies on the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidations have established that the enzyme reacts with hydroperoxides to form

Formation and Alkene Epoxidation by Higher-Valent Oxo-Metalloporphyrins
The Activation of Dioxygen and Homogeneous Catalytic Oxidation, 1993

Interest in these reactions stem from their relevance to the biochemical reactions of peroxidases with alkyl hydroperoxides,1 catalases with hydrogen peroxides2 and the metabolic reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. The cytochrome P-450 enzymes catalyze, among other reactions, the epoxidation of alkenes.3 Studies on these heme containing monooxygenases reveal that one of the key steps during the reaction is the formation of an enzyme bound hypervalent iron-oxo porphyrin. From this, ensued investigations directed toward the elucidation of the mechanisms of formation and reactions of such species.
