title: Regioselective biomimetic oxidation of etodolac with iodosylbenzene catalyzed by halogenated and perhalogenated metalloporphyrins in dichloromethane.
abstract: The biomimetic oxidation of etodolac, an anti-inflammatory drug (1) with iodosylbenzene catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrinatoiron(III) chlorides TAPFe(III)Cl (7a-e) in dichloromethane gives 4-hydroxyetodolac (6) and 4-oxoetodolac (5) regioselectively in moderate yields.
