63. The near K-edge structures originate from electronic transitions from the occupied 1s core orbital of the metal ion to the excited vacant metal orbitals of proper symmetry, according to the selection rule Δl = ± 1. In a simplified one-electron approximation, these are 1s (l = 0) → 4p (l = 1) allowed transitions (edge structures) and 1s (/ = 0) → 3d (l = 2) forbidden transitions (pre-edge structures). The XANES spectra are therefore closely related to the electronic and stereochemical properties of the metal complexes (e.g., metal oxidation state, coordination geometry and ligand environment).

71. The limited solubility of the cobalt catalysts in acetonitrile precluded a rigorous examination of the kinetics of the catalytic system. However, the oxidation rate of 1-phenylethanol could be evaluated qualitatively under a standard set of reaction conditions by measuring the yield of acetophenone at regular intervals.
72. More probably, the pivalic acid formed as the by-product from the autoxidation of pivalaldehyde was then immediately neutralised by the added base, thus preventing a high concentration of pivalic acid from building up and, consequently, precluding decomposition of the cobalt catalyst through protonation and decomplexation of the oxamide ligand from the metal centre. Furthermore, the possible competition between the alcohol substrate and the aldehyde co-oxidant for the oxidation reaction can be avoided, or at least impeded, if the latter is kept low by sequential step addition (see discussion below).

75. Reaction with the metal complex is known to occur more rapidly than with the organic substrate for R′OO radicals (R′ = H or alkyl) in the so-called Fenton-type oxidations of hydrocarbons (for which the relative rates of both processes have been estimated; S. Goldstein, D. Meyerstein, Acc. Chem. Res. 1999, 32, 547 and refs. therein). Thus, it is not surprising that this should also be the major pathway when the acyl peroxyl radical [R′ = RC(O)] is formed under Mukaiyama's conditions.
