Abstract

The metal-catalyzed cleavage of a carbon–carbon triple bond has stimulated new conceptual strategies in organic synthesis. 1,2 The use of oxygen to cleave a carbon–carbon bond catalytically is economically and environmentally important. Although the catalytic cleavage of C–C and C C bonds using oxygen as the oxidant has achieved reasonable progress, 3 very limited examples have been documented for the oxygen-induced oxidative cleavage of a C C bond. 2d,e ...
