21. We recently reported that a copper(II)-catalyzed reaction of vinyl diazo derivatives and iodosylbenzene (O=I-Ph) does not lead to oxygen heterocycles, but rather β-oxodiazo compounds resulting from a novel oxidative rearrangement were formed:, J.

22. Although it is generally accepted that metal-bound nitrenes are involved in the copper/(N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imino)phenyliodinane (PhI=NTs) aziridination reaction of alkenes, the nature of the reactive intermediate is still a controversial subject.
