Abstract

The design of catalytic systems that can selectively oxidize unactivated C−H bonds under mild conditions is a challenge to chemists. We report here that the manganese(V) nitrido complex [MnV(N)(CN)4]2− is a highly efficient catalyst for the oxidation of alkanes by periodate (IO4−) at ambient conditions. Excellent yields of alcohols and ketones (>95 %) are obtained with a maximum turnover number (TON) of 3000.
