The research aims to explore the potential of iron(III)-hydroxyl catalysts for the regioselective hydroxylation of arenes.
Utilized metal-organic frameworks to support single-site iron catalysts.
Focused on the regioselective hydroxylation process of benzene derivatives.
Demonstrated effective hydroxylation of arenes using the MOF-supported catalyst.
Showed potential for developing earth-abundant metal catalysts for fine chemical synthesis.
Abstract
, serve as the key species for benzene hydroxylation. This study demonstrates the utility of MOF-supported single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for the synthesis of fine chemicals.
