Frontispiece: Exceptional Substrate Diversity in Oxygenation Reactions Catalyzed by a Bis(μ‐oxo) Copper Complex

Chemistry - A European Journal, vol. 26

Abstract

The tyrosinase-like activity of a new bioinspired bis(μ-oxo) dicopper(III) catalyst was investigated herein. The hybrid guanidine-stabilized catalyst revealed a remarkable oxygenation activity on diverse phenolic substrate classes, products of which were consistently predicted by DFT calculations. The selective C−H activation of mono- and bicyclic substrates provides a new benchmark to future developments on tyrosinase model systems on the route to atom-economic oxygen-transfer reactions. More information can be found in the Communication by S. Herres-Pawlis et al. on page 7556 ff.
