The core of the problem : The selective hydroxylation of benzylic CH bonds by a [Cu 2 O 2 ] 2+ core is a nonsynchronous concerted process (see scheme). This is the result of density functional calculations on the mechanistic scenario of the monooxygenase reactivity of a bis(μ‐oxo)dicopper( III ) complex.
