additional information | reaction starts with H-abstraction from the C2 position of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate by a ferric superoxide-type intermediate. The resultant Fe(II)-OOH intermediate may follow either a hydroperoxylation or hydroxylation pathway, the former process being energetically more favorable. In the hydroperoxylation pathway, a ferrous-alkylhydroperoxo intermediate is formed, and then its O-O bond is homolytically cleaved to yield a complex of ferric hydroxide with a gem-diol radical. Subsequent C-C bond cleavage within the gem-diol leads to formation of an R-CH2 radical species and one of the two products, i.e., formic acid. The R-CH2 radical then intramolecularly forms a C-O bond with the ferric hydroxide to provide the other product, hydroxymethylphosphonate.
