On investigating copper-catalyzed aerobic reactions of N-H imines, it was discovered that the iminyl copper species formed from reaction of Grignard reactions with carbonitriles, could undergo either C-H oxygenation or C-C bond cleavage depending on the starting material. The methylene C-H oxidation...
