Abstract: Herewith, the details of molecular mechanism of manganese catalyzed benzylic C-H oxidation are examined, using the formation of acetate as a mechanistic probe. The correlation between the alcohol/acetate ratio (alcohol selectivity) and the presence of electron-donating groups at the aminopyridine ligand core has been revealed. Isotopic labeling studies witness that the oxygen atom in the cumyl alcohol originates from the H2O2 molecule, while the oxygen of the acetate comes from the acetic acid. These data rule out acid-catalyzed Fischer esterification of the initially formed cumyl alcohol, and provide evidence for a different mechanism of cumyl acetate formation. Possible mechanistic alternatives are discussed.
