Abstract

An important challenge in synthetic organic chemistry is the design and development of new environmentally friendly synthetic methods that are efficient, selective, and cost effective. As the demand for green chemical approaches is increasing, simple and short synthetic routes that produce a minimal amount of waste are called for.[1] Biomimetic metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidation reactions are of interest in this respect because they are simple to carry ...
