Abstract

A new alkylthiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex, Fe(BNPAS)Br (), is reported. Reaction of with O at -40 °C, or reaction of the ferric form with O at -80 °C, gives a rare iron(III)-superoxide intermediate, [Fe(O)(BNPAS)] (), characterized by UV-vis, Fe Mössbauer, ATR-FTIR, EPR, and CSIMS. Metastable then converts to an S-oxygenated Fe(sulfinate) product via a sequential O atom transfer mechanism involving an iron-sulfenate intermediate. These results provide evidence for the feasibility of proposed intermediates in thiol dioxygenases.
