A number of salen derivatives bearing electronegative substitutents and their corresponding iron(III) chloro complexes have been prepared. Several of the complexes catalyze aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene, primarily to allylic oxidation products. Evidence supports a radical chain autoxidation mechanism, with the complex functioning to decompose intermediate alkyl hydroperoxides. Activity is observed
