A benzimidazole-based nonheme manganese complex efficiently catalyzes benzylic, aliphatic C-H as well as tertiary C-H oxidation with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant in the presence of acetic acid as additive. For example, treating diphenylmethane with H2O2 in the presence of the catalyst gave benzophenone in 70% yield. 18O-Labeling experiments suggest the reaction may proceed via a high-valent manganese-oxo intermediate.
