Abstract

The demand for environmentally benign methods in organic synthesis is increasing,[1] and hence the aerobic oxidation of organic molecules catalyzed by metal complexes is an important area in current research.[2, 3] Our laboratory has been involved in this research field and during the past two decades we have developed various biomimetic methods for aerobic oxidation.[3b, 4] In these methods, a coupled catalytic system promotes electron ...
