In recent years, synthetically useful homogeneous catalysis has been developed with silver, including nitrene transfer reactions for carbon-nitrogen bond formation. However, the mechanisms of silver-catalyzed redox reactions are generally still poorly understood, including a near-total lack of data on oxidized intermediates. Here, we present a detailed experimental study on the oxidation of a dinuclear silver(I) nitrene transfer catalyst with commonly used hypervalent iodine oxidants (PhINSO2Ar), including structurally characterized examples of silver(II) oxidation products obtained under catalytically relevant conditions. Furthermore, the silver(I) catalyst is shown to undergo stepwise oxidation to silver(II) and silver(III) intermediates; the generation of silver(III) intermediates has not previously been demonstrated in nitrene transfer catalysis. In contrast to prior mechanistic hypotheses, our data indicates that nitrene transfer occurs from silver(III) in this reaction system.
