Rate-determining hydrogen atom abstraction from C-H bonds by PINO (Scheme 1, path b) in aerobic oxidations catalyzed by NHPI is well documented.3,9-11 The possibility of a rate-determining formation of aryl-substituted PINO (Scheme 1, path d) should be considered if a higher alcohol/X-NHPI molar ratio is used.14.

36. 2 groups could be also explained by an electron transfer mechanism from the alcohol to the X-PINO. We have excluded this possibility by the fact that the oxidation of the mechanistic probe 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol led to the formation of 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanone as the only reaction product and no traces of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde have been detected (see the Experimental Section).30
