Abstract
Autoxidation of phenols, catalysed by complexes formed from copper salts and amines, gives products arising from both one- and two-electron abstraction. Oxidation products depend markedly on reaction conditions, but not on the structure of the catalyst. The relevance of these reactions to some enzyme processes is mentioned.Keywords
