Abstract

The mechanism of oxygenation reactions catalyzed by a rhodium complex which forms a 1:1 molecular oxygen adduct has been elucidated by infrared spectroscopy. Hydrogen abstraction from the substrate by the coordinated oxygen is involved, and the data give the first direct evidence for hydroperoxide intermediates in such reactions of d⁸ metal complexes.
