C—H bonds over a broad range of substrates. The site of oxidation can be predicted, based on the electronic and/or steric environment of the C—H bond. In addition, the oxidation reaction does not require the presence of directing groups in the substrate.

The invention provides simple small molecule, non-heme iron catalyst systems with broad substrate scope that can predictably enhance or overturn a substrate's inherent reactivity preference for sp3-hybridized C—H bond oxidation. The invention also provides methods for selective aliphatic C—H bond oxidation. Furthermore, a structure-based catalyst reactivity model is disclosed that quantitatively correlates the innate physical properties of the substrate to the site-selectivities observed as a function of the catalyst. The catalyst systems can be used in combination with oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide to effect highly selective oxidations of unactivated sp3 C—H bonds over a broad range of substrates.
