Abstract
AbstractThe reaction of copper(I) complexes and cumene hydroperoxides was examined to demonstrate that heterolytic O–O bond cleavage of the peroxides proceeds predominantly to give the corresponding alcohols (cumyl alcohols) as the major product, when the stoichiometry of CuI/peroxide is 2:1. The result is in sharp contrast to the 1:1 reaction between the copper(II) complexes and cumene hydroperoxide, which provides the ketone (acetophenone) as the major product through homolytic O–O bond cleavage.
