Abstract
Iron(III) porphyrins efficiently catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes and the hydroxylation of alkanes by iodosylbenzenes and peracids, most likely by the same mechanisms utilized by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. The synthetic catalysts mimic the enzymes in product stereospecificity, 1 the accompanying rearrangements, 2 and the suicide labelling which results in N-alkylhemin formation.3
