title: Regioselective hydroxylation of the xylyl linker in a diiron(III) complex having a carboxylate-rich ligand with H2O2.
abstract: Reaction of a diiron(III) complex having a xylta4- ligand (N,N,N',N'-m-xylylenediamine tetraacetate) with H2O2 resulted in regioselective hydroxylation of the m-xylyl linker. The reaction mimics the self-hydroxylation of a phenylalanine side chain found for ribonucleotide reductase (R2-W48F/D84E).
