Several dinuclear iron(III) complexes with mu-alkoxo bridges gave predomina
ntly cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the reaction with cyclohexane and hydrogen
peroxide, and similar results were observed when linear n-alkanes, such as
n-nonane and n-octane, were used instead of cyclohexane. A mechanism for s
elective formation of the hydroperoxide is discussed.
