• Has been used on clay support for aromatic nitrations, oxidative cleavage of thioacetals, and aromatization of dihydropyridines. For reviews, see: Synthesis, 909 (1985); Acc. Chem. Res., 19, 121 (1986).
• Reacts with H2O2 in the presence of KHCO3 to give CuO2H, stable at room temperature in the absence of moisture, a selective oxidant for the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes in high yield: Tetrahedron Lett., 31, 3891 (1990).
• For use in the coupling of vinyl stannanes, see: Tetrahedron Lett., 36, 197 (1995).
