In the absence of either OxalH or NHPI, only traces of products have been detected regardless of the oxidant, catalyst, and substrate used. Similarly, no products were detected as promoted by NHPI oxidation of C6H12 and PhCH3 by H2O2 regardless of the nature of catalyst cations. TOF was calculated as the yield of products/catalyst per hour, mM/(mM·h).
