Multiple Aromatic Amination Mediated by a Diiron Complex

Abstract

Stop-frame amination: A very efficient amine transfer reaction is mediated by a biomimetic diiron complex, giving both single and double insertions of a tosylamine group into a pendant benzyl group of the ligand (see structure). The monoinsertion product has been shown by X-ray crystallography and other physical methods to be a tosylanilinato diiron(III) complex.
