Resumen

The direct oxidation of benzene into phenol using
molecular oxygen at very mild temperatures can be promoted in the
presence of the copper complex TpBr3Cu(NCMe) in the homogeneous
phase in the presence of ascorbic acid as the source of protons and
electrons. The stoichiometric nature, relative to copper, of this
transformation prompted a thorough DFT study in order to understand
the reaction pathway. As a result, the dinuclear species TpBr3CuII(μ-O•)(μ-OH)CuIITpBr3 is proposed as the relevant structure which
is responsible for activating the arene C−H bond leading to phenol formation.
