abstract = {The oxidation of C–H bonds by copper centres in enzymes with molecular oxygen takes place in nature under ambient conditions. Herein we report a similar transformation in which under ambient pressure and temperature (1 atm, 25 °C) the complex TpMsCu(THF) (TpMs = hydrotris(3-mesityl-pyrazol-1-yl)borate) undergoes the intramolecular oxidation of an alkylic C–H bond with O2, leading to the formation of a trinuclear compound where alkoxy and hydroxyl ligands are bonded to the copper centres, as inferred from X-ray studies. The presence of adventitious Cu(0) derived from the partial decomposition of initial TpMsCu(THF) facilitates the formation of such a trinuclear compound. DFT studies support the reaction taking place through a Cu(III) alkoxy-hydroxyl copper intermediate.},
