Conditions: molar ratio of [catalyst:H2O2:substrate]= [1:1000:2500] in 1 mL of CH3CN (1 equiv = 1 μmol).
Conditions: molar ratio of [catalyst:HCl:H2O2:substrate]= [1:100:1000:2500] in 1 mL of CH3CN (1 equiv = 1 μmol).
Yields based on the starting substrate and products formed. The mass balance is 98–100%. The reaction time was 6 h.
TON: total turnover number, moles of products formed per mole of catalyst.
TOF: turnover frequency which is calculated by the expression [products]/[catalyst] × time (h–1).
