N-benzoyl-2-methylalanine (H2L1) is ortho-hydroxylated stereoselectively by trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the presence of copper(II). The experimental structure of [Cu(L1)(TMAO)2] suggests that the oxygen transfer agent TMAO transfers the oxygen atom to copper(II), and (L1)2-, coordinated to copper(II) by a carboxylate oxygen and the amide nitrogen donor, is well pre-organized for an oxygen transfer from copper to the ortho carbon atom of the benzene ring. Product analyses as a function of reaction time of the copper(II)-mediated ortho-hydroxylation reaction with H2L1 and various derivatives support the suggestion of a reactive copper-oxo or copper-hydroxo intermediate, stabilized by a five-membered chelate with hard carboxylate and N-amide donors. The analysis also suggests that there is a pre-equilibrium with a Cu:L=1:1 ratio, and this might involve Cu/L2-/TMAO or dicopper complexes. Depending on the ligand H2L, complexation with the salicylate product may inhibit the ortho-hydroxylation reaction.

Quantitative orthohydroxylation of N-benzoyl-2-methylalanine (1) occurs through its copper(II) salt oxidation by trimethylamine N-oxide; transitory formation of a Cu(III) species is proposed.
