We recently reported that a nitrosoarene-Cu(I) complex is a reactive intermediate in the copper-catalyzed allylic amination of olefins by phenyl hydroxylamine. Insight into the mechanism of this novel process has now been obtained from a study of stoichiometric model reactions and kinetics. Results of these experiments will be presented in the context of possible mechanistic pathways.
