Abstract
A dicopper(I)/phenol-ligand complex in RCN solvents reacts with O2 producing a mu-1,1-hydroperoxo dicopper(II) species. Subsequent thermal transformation results in nitrile hydroxylation and elimination of cyanide, as revealed by the isolation in comparable yields of (i) a cyanide-bridged tetranuclear cluster complex and (ii) benzaldehyde (for R = PhCH2); 18O labeling confirms that the PhC(O)H oxygen atom derives from O2.Entities:
