24. Three similar CuII species are evident under catalytic conditions; see Figure S2 for experimental and simulated EPR data. Very similar EPR spectra are obtained from solutions of Cu(OAc)2 and B(OMe)3 in methanol. In contrast, Cu(OAc)2 alone in methanol exists as a dimer that exhibits virtually no EPR signal (cf.: Rao, V. M.; Sathyanarayana, D. N.; Manohar, H. Ind. J. Chem. Sect. A1985, 24A, 417-418).
