Transition-metal alkylperoxo species (M-OOR’; R’denotes alkyl group) are postulated as reactive intermediates in various oxidation reactions ranging from industrial processes to biological systems.[1] The alkylperoxo complexes of d0 early transition-metal ions (groups 4–6), in particular, have attracted much attention, owing to their potential as oxygenating reagents for organic compounds (for example, olefin epoxidation).[2–5] Interest in the alkylperoxo complexes of late transition metals is also growing because of their industrial significance and biological relevance.[6–8] Nickel is recognized as one of the most useful metals in promoting various organic transformation reactions, owing its intrinsic redox properties. Recent developments in the chemistry of nickel dioxygen complexes have shed light on the applicability of nickel species as oxidizing agents. For example, dinuclear nickel (III) bis (μ-oxo) compounds exhibit H-abstraction of aliphatic hydrocarbyl species, in a similar fashion to the M2 (μ-O) 2 species of high-valent Fe and Cu.[9] Furthermore, several nickel dioxygen complexes [9b, 10] and peroxide-based catalytic oxidation reactions with nickel complexes [11] have been reported. An nickel (II) alkylperoxo complex, reported by Suzuki and coworkers, was formed by O2 oxygenation of the alkyl radical center on the metalsupporting ligand, which was itself generated through H-abstraction by the Ni2 (μ-O) 2 species.[9a, 12] However, the structure and reactivity of nickel alkylperoxo complexes remains to be studied, to afford an insight into the interaction between nickel compounds and peroxides, the intrinsic reactivity of the resulting nickel peroxo species, and the properties of catalytic intermediates. Herein we report the molecular structure and the oxidizing activity of a nickel (II) alkylperoxo complex,[NiII (OOtBu)(TpiPr)](1; TpiPr= hydrotris (3, 5-di-2-propylpyrazolyl) borate).
