title: Olefin-dependent discrimination between two nonheme HO-FeV=O tautomeric species in catalytic H2O2 epoxidations.
abstract: Wet oxygenase models: Unprecedented high levels of water incorporation into products (up to 75%) is observed in epoxidation reactions with H(2)O(2) by a bioinspired nonheme iron catalyst. A surprising substrate-dependent incorporation of water is observed, and is proposed to arise from fast equilibrium between two high-valent HO-Fe(V)=O isomeric species exhibiting different reactivity.
