title: An iron catalyst for oxidation of alkyl C-H bonds showing enhanced selectivity for methylenic sites.
abstract: Many are called but few are chosen: A nonheme iron complex catalyzes the oxidation of alkyl C-H bonds by using H(2)O(2) as the oxidant, showing an enhanced selectivity for secondary over tertiary C-H bonds (see scheme).
