✦ Synopsis


The mechanism of the oxygen atom transfer reaction mediated by copper-oxygen species has been studied through a substrate-binding ligand approach. Oxidations of copper 5-X-IndPY2 type complexes in which an electron donating (X = OMe) or withdrawing group (X = CN) substitutes the aromatic nucleus in position 5, lead to compounds 2b,c and 3b,c resulting from benzylic hydroxylations. With these complexes, where one of the benzylic positions is influenced by [ ‡] Aminoindanes in Oxygen Transfer Reactions, 3. Ϫ Part 2: ref. [8] ; part 1: ref. [9] [a] Chimie,
