Redox active ligand and metal cooperation for C(sp)-H oxidation: extension of the galactose oxidase mechanism in water-mediated amide formation

Redox interplay between a ligand and a metal can provide a profound driving force for the promotion of unprecedented reactions. This work presents an intriguing water-assisted oxidative transformation of imine to amide with no formal change in the metal oxidation state in the copper and nickel compl...

Description
Summary:Redox interplay between a ligand and a metal can provide a profound driving force for the promotion of unprecedented reactions. This work presents an intriguing water-assisted oxidative transformation of imine to amide with no formal change in the metal oxidation state in the copper and nickel complexes of an aminophenol ligand versus a zinc analogue. Metal and ligand cooperation provides a driving force for the water-mediated oxidative transformation of imine to amide in copper and nickel complexes versus a zinc analogue.
