Abstract | Cited by

Dioxygen activation with both cyclic (amino)(alkyl)carbenes and di(amino)carbenes at ambient temperature is described. Theoretical studies suggest that electron rearrangement from the doubly filled σ orbital of carbene carbon to its vacant p orbital through the π* antibonding orbital of 3O2 can be considered for Ccarbene–O bond formation.
