Direct Benzene Hydroxylation with Dioxygen Induced by Copper Complexes: Uncovering the Active Species by DFT Calculations
{{output}}
The direct oxidation of benzene into phenol using molecular oxygen at very mild temperatures can be promoted in the presence of the copper complex TpBr3Cu(NCMe) in the homogeneous phase in the presence of ascorbic acid as the source of protons and electrons. T... ...
