Abstract:

Copper amine complexes were used to mimic oxidases in the biomimetic oxidation of organic compounds[1]. Masahiro Noji and coworkers[2] reported the oxidative coupling of 2-naphthol into high yield of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (1) by using catalytical amount of CuCl-tetramethylethylenediamine complex at the presence of O2. Here we report the catalytic oxidation of 1 with copper amine complexes.
