Abstract: The binuclear copper enzyme tyrosinase activates O[sub 2] to forma µ-η[sup 2]:η[sup 2]-peroxodicopper(II) complex, whichoxidizes phenols to catechols. Here, a synthetic µ-η[sup2]:η[sup 2]-peroxodicopper(II) complex, with an absorption spectrumsimilar to that of the enzymatic active oxidant, is reported to rapidlyhydroxylate phenolates at -80°C. Upon phenolate addition at extremetemperature in solution (-120°C), a reactive intermediate consistentwith a bis-µ-oxodicopper(III)-phenolate complex, with the O-O bondfully cleaved, is observed experimentally. The subsequent hydroxylationstep has the hallmarks of an electrophilic aromatic substitutionmechanism, similar to tyrosinase. Overall, the evidence for sequentialO-O bond cleavage and C-O bond formation in this synthetic complexsuggests an alternative intimate mechanism to the concerted or latestage O-O bond scission generally accepted for the phenol hydroxylationreaction performed by tyrosinase.
