In addition, ligand decomposition in Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols has been proposed to proceed via the reaction of an (unobserved) hydroperoxide intermediate with a ligand benzylic methyl group: Conley, N. R.; Labios, L. A.; Pearson, D. M.; McCrory, C. C. L.; Waymouth, R. M Organometallics 2007, 26, 5447-5453.
