Abstract
Results from Hammett correlation studies and primary kinetic isotope effects for the CuCl-TEMPO catalysed aerobic benzyl alcohol oxidations are inconsistent with an oxoammonium based mechanism. We postulate a copper-mediated dehydrogenation mechanism, in which TEMPO regenerates the active Cu(II)-species. This mechanism is analogous to that observed for Galactose Oxidase and mimics thereof.Entities:
