Hydroxyl Transfer to Carbon Radicals by Mn(OH) vs Fe(OH) Corrole Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The transfer of •OH from metal-hydroxo species to carbon radicals (R•) to give hydroxylated products (ROH) is a fundamental process in metal-mediated heme and nonheme C-H bond oxidations. This step, often referred to as the hydroxyl "rebound" step, is typically very fast, making direct study of this process challenging if not impossible. In this report, we describe the reactions of the synthetic models M(OH)(ttppc) (M = Fe (1), Mn (3); ttppc = 5,10,15-tris(2,4,6-triphenyl)phenyl corrolato^3-) with a series of triphenylmethyl carbon radical (R•) derivatives ((4-X-C₆H₄)₃C•; X = OMe, tBu, Ph, Cl, CN) to give the one-electron reduced M^III(ttppc) complexes and ROH products. Rate constants for 3 for the different radicals
