(19) During catalytic reactions, a strong base is supplied in the form
of hydroxide from the reduction of O2. The requirement of suitably
strong base complicates direct comparison of the stoichiometric
reaction with catalytic reactions. Systematic investigation of base
effects and the relative reactivity of CuI vs CuII catalyst precursors are
the subject of ongoing investigation.
(20) See ref 10d. and the following: Cecchetto, A.; Fontana, F.;
Minisci, F.; Recupero, F. Tetrahedron Lett. 2001, 42, 6651−6653.
(21) Sheldon and co-workers proposed that TEMPO oxidizes CuI to
CuII in their study of the CuCl/TEMPO catalyst system, which lacks
bpy as an ancillary ligand (ref 13a). A control experiment indicates that
this reaction does not occur with the present catalyst system. The
catalyst components (CuIOTf, bpy, NMI and TEMPO) were
combined in acetonitrile under anaerobic conditions. EPR analysis of
this mixture revealed no loss of TEMPO and no formation of CuII.
(22) CV conditions: 2.5 mM Cu(OTf), 2.5 mM bpy, 5 mM NMI, 2.5
mM TEMPO, MeCN, under N2. Referenced to Cp2FeIII/Cp2FeII
external reference, scan rate = 100 mV·s−1, Pt button working
electrode, 0.5 M LiClO4 electrolyte.
(23) For related mechanisms proposed with other Cu/TEMPO
catalyst systems, see refs 9a, d, 10c, 11a, and 13a, and the following:
Hill, N. J.; Hoover, J. M.; Stahl, S. S. J. Chem. Educ. 2013, 90, 102−105.
(24) Although TEMPOH oxidation in the absence of Cu does occur,
this reaction is considerably slower than catalytic turnover. Metal-free
aerobic regeneration of TEMPO has been proposed previously in Cu/
TEMPO alcohol oxidation systems (e.g., see ref 13a).
