Metal Hydroperoxides as Oxygen-Atom Transfer Reagents
The two-electron oxidation of I- by metal hydroperoxides (H2O)(5)CrO2H2+, (H2O)-([14]aneN(4))CoO2H2+ and (H2O)(Me(6)[14]aneN(4))CoO2H2+ proceeds exclusively by an [H+]-catalyzed path. These reactions are 420-5700 times faster than the oxidation of I- by H2O2.
