Observation of Fe(V)=O using variable-temperature mass spectrometry and its enzyme-like C–H and C=C oxidation reactions

TLDR
This study pioneers the implementation of variable-temperature mass spectrometry to investigate reactive intermediates and the generation of a Fe(V)=O species within a synthetic non-haem complex at -40 °C and its reaction with an olefin.
Abstract
Oxo-transfer chemistry mediated by iron underpins many biological processes and today is emerging as synthetically very important for the catalytic oxidation of C-H and C=C moieties that are hard to activate conventionally. Despite the vast amount of research in this area, experimental characterization of the reactive species under catalytic conditions is very limited, although a Fe(V)=O moiety was postulated. Here we show, using variable-temperature mass spectrometry, the generation of a Fe(V)=O species within a synthetic non-haem complex at -40 °C and its reaction with an olefin. Also, with isotopic labelling we were able both to follow oxygen-atom transfer from H(2)O(2)/H(2)O through Fe(V)=O to the products and to probe the reactivity as a function of temperature. This study pioneers the implementation of variable-temperature mass spectrometry to investigate reactive intermediates.
