Abstract Since the milestone contribution by Chen and White in 2007, bioinspired non‐heme bis ‐amino‐ bis ‐pyridylmethyl Fe complexes have been at the forefront of studies related to designing catalytic approaches for direct oxidative functionalization of aliphatic C−H bonds. This, however, has not developed into large‐scale synthetic applications to date. The present concept is aimed at briefly discussing the state‐of‐the‐art of non‐heme Fe catalyzed oxidations of organic molecules with H 2 O 2 , the current oxidant of choice of bioinspired oxidation catalysis, mostly focusing on C−H oxidations, and analyzing the peculiarities of their reactivity through the prism of potential applications in fine organic synthesis.
