The use of methylcubane with the reconstituted MMO system from M. trichosporium OB3b yields both cubylmethanol and methylcubanols. An unexpected regioselectivity towards the methyl hydroxylation versus cubyl hydroxylation is observed, indicating steric effects on the reaction. The results suggest the formation of a radical intermediate in the reaction and support a radical-based mechanism.

They can be considered as good model compounds for the catalytically active species found in the oxygen activation of non-heme diiron enzymes.

40. 2-dependent oxidation catalyzed by a diiron complex. Inorg Chem. 38:1999;1261-1268. By using a chiral-ligand system derived from bipyridine an enantioselective oxyfunctionalization of sulfides is accomplished with a diiron complex. The enantioselectivity is due to the formation of a chiral catalytically active iron-peroxo moiety. The results show that oxidation reactions proceeding through metal-based pathways can be made stereoselective.

Lippard and co-workers describe in this paper the first evidence for dioxygen oxidation of a diiron(II) complex to an Fe(III)Fe(IV) model compound for the key intermediate R2-X found in the reaction cycle of the R2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase. The formation of this species is the first example of a process that utilizes dioxygen to access the Fe(IV) oxidation state in a synthetic model complex. It was identified and spectroscopically characterized by EPR, UV/Vis and Mössbauer spectroscopy.
