A highly preorganized bioinspired dicopper complex with imidazole ligation catalyzes the selective benzylic para-C-H activation of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol under aerobic conditions, yielding either the stilbenequinone or 4-methoxymethyl-2,6-dimethylphenol depending on the solvent used.

2,4,6-Trimethylphenol was oxidized with oxygen in the presence of (1,4,7-tribenzyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)copper(II) chloride as a catalyst to produce exclusively a coupled product stilbenequinone, without the formation of oxygenated products.
