Catalytic activity for the oxygenation of hydrocarbons. Overview of the obtained data for the catalytic activity of the model systems 2 a and 2 b towards various substrates.

BDE [kcal mol−1]	Substrate→Product	TON[a] 2 a‐PF6/2 a‐OTf	TON[a] 2 b‐PF6/2 b‐OTf
75	XEN→XON	1/3	1/2
78	DHA→A	3/2	2/1
78	DHA→AQ[b]	3/2	4/5
82	DPM→Ph2CO	2/2	2/2

General remarks: Conditions: 1 equiv of 2 a or 2 b and 20, 10 or 50 equiv of XEN, DHA or DPM, respectively, were applied (cf. Section S2.8). Blind reactions were also performed using [Cu(CH₃CN)₄]PF₆ or [Cu(CH₃CN)₄]OTf and O₂ instead of 2 a or 2 b. All control experiments lead to poorer results compared to the activity with 2 a or 2 b (see Table S17). For abbreviations see text. [a] TON=Turnover Number; is defined as the equiv of product made per equiv of catalyst (=Cu₂O complex). [b] 10 equiv of DHA were used; representing 20‐fold excess of substrate. The given TON refers to the initially formed disecondary alcohol and does not include the subsequent oxidation.
