Conclusions

  1. 1.

    In alkaline media, complexes of copper with o-phenanthroline catalyze the oxidation of organic compounds which are capable of forming carbanions. The oxidation rate is determined by the concentration and nucleophilicity of the carbanions.

  2. 2.

    The sequence of the formation of the oxidation products of cyclohexanone in the presence of complexes of copper with o-phenanthroline in alkaline media is established and a mechanism for the process is suggested.
