Abstract
The iron-assisted hydroxylation of benzoic acid to salicylic acid by 1/H2O2 has been achieved in good yield under mild conditions (where is [Fe(II)(BPMEN)(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2 and BPMEN =N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine); the product of this reaction is a novel mononuclear iron(III) complex with a chelating salicylate.
