Abstract

Direct incorporation of molecular oxygen into organic substrates has recently attained widespread interest as a forwardlooking technology for mild and green molecular transformations.[1] One subject of great urgency is the development of organocatalytic methods.[2] These methods should facilitate new strategies that provide an alternative to the conventional unsustainable processes, which use oxygenated transitionmetal complexes.[ ...
