Mechanistic Insights into Aerobic C(sp3)-H Hydroxylation: A Catalytic Reaction or Not
{{output}}
The mechanism of aerobic C(sp3)-H hydroxylation to α-hydroxy ketone is investigated by multiple quantum chemical computations. An alkali-metal-assisted electron transfer (AET) is proposed to drive the triplet-to-singlet transition for C-O bond formation. The ... ...
