Oxygenation Chemistry at a Mononuclear Copper(II) Hydroquinone System with O-2
Aerobic treatment of a copper(II) complex supported by a bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine ligand containing a p-hydroquinone moiety on one of the pyridine donor groups in CH3OH induces oxygenation reaction of the ligand to give a hydroxylated p-quinone derivative.
