At variance with frequently employed copper catalysts with bi-, tri- or tetradentate, N-donor ligands, these monodentante, C-donor ligand infer a remarkable effect in the reaction mechanism. Experimental evidences support the proposal of a concerted mechanism and the absence of radical intermediates, which are the commonly proposed species involved in these nitrene transfer reactions.}, organization = {We thank to Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación for Grant PID2020-113797RB-C21, also financed by FEDER “Una manera de hacer Europa”.
