Donor makes the difference : The mononuclear η 1 ‐superoxo copper(II) complex 1 undergoes dioxygen activation with the addition of hydrogen‐atom donors. Net O 2 ‐derived O‐atom insertion into the N ‐methyl group of the ligand leads to formation of a copper(II)‐alkoxide product 2 . The cupric superoxo species 1 itself is not capable of the observed hydroxylation reaction.
