Abstract
One-step hydroxylation of aromatic nucleus with nitrous oxide (N2O) is among recently discovered organic reactions. A high efficiency of FeZSM-5 zeolites in this reaction relates to a pronounced biomimetic-type activity of iron complexes stabilized in ZSM-5 matrix. N2O decomposition on these complexes produces particular atomic oxygen form (α-oxygen), whose chemistry is similar to that performed by the active oxygen of enzyme monooxygenases. Room temperature oxidation reactions of α-oxygen as well as the data on the kinetic isotope effect and Moessbauer spectroscopy show FeZSM-5 zeolite to be a successful biomimetic model.
