Abstract
CuIII species have been invoked in many copper-catalyzed transformations including cross-coupling reactions and oxidation reactions. In this review, we will discuss seminal discoveries that have advanced our understanding of the CuI/CuIII redox cycle in the context of C–C and C–heteroatom aerobic cross-coupling reactions, as well as C–H oxidation reactions mediated by CuIII–dioxygen adducts.
