Room‐Temperature Copper‐Catalyzed Oxidation of Electron‐Deficient Arenes and Heteroarenes Using Air

No pressure: The oxidation of aromatic CH bonds at room temperature was realized through a copper-catalyzed “oxygenase-type” oxidation of arenes and heteroarenes in the presence of air (see scheme). The reaction involves an oxygen-atom transfer from O2 in the air onto the substrates. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
