The reactivity of molecular oxygen is crucial to clean energy technologies and green chemical synthesis, but kinetic barriers complicate both applications. In synthesis, dioxygen should be able to undergo oxygen atom transfer to two organic molecules with perfect atom economy, but such reactivity is rare. Monooxygenase enzymes commonly reductively activate dioxygen by sacrificing one of the oxygen atoms to generate a more reactive oxidant. Here, we used a manganese-tetraphenylporphyrin catalyst ...[more]
