Intermediates in Reactions of Copper(I) Complexes with N-Oxides: From the Formation of Stable Adducts to Oxo Transfer

摘要

Reactions of copper(I) complexes of bidentate N-donor supporting ligands with pyridine- and trimethylamine-N-oxides or PhIO were explored. Key results include the identification of novel copper(I) N-oxide adducts, aryl substituent hydroxylation, and bis (mu-oxo)dicopper complex formation via a route involving oxo transfer.
