methods for the site-selective scission of C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds remain scarcely explored in contrast
to the vast literature on C–C coupling. In view of this, we
report a means of oxidative C–C single-bond cleavage in morpholines,
made possible by a synergy between cobalt and manganese catalysts
using air as a benign oxidant. We demonstrate the synthetic utility
of this system with the late-stage oxidative cleavage of Linezolid.
