A ligand-free iron-catalyzed method for the oxygenation of benzylic sp3 C–H bonds by molecular oxygen (1 atm) using a thiylradical as a cocatalyst has been developed. This transformation provides a facile access to amides, esters and ketones from readily accessible corresponding amines, ethers and alkanes. It features high regioselectivity, mild oxidative conditions and excellent functional group
A ligand-free and operationally simple copper-catalyzed aerobic benzylic sp3 C–H oxygenation was developed. The addition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, either in a catalytic or stoichiometric amount, was key for activating stable C–H bonds under mild conditions to furnish the corresponding ketones or esters in moderate to excellent yield.

A metal-free heterogeneousphotocatalytic system has been developed for highly efficient benzylic C–H oxygenations using oxygen as an oxidant. This visible light mediated oxidation reaction utilizes graphitic carbonnitride (g-C3N4) as a recyclable, nontoxic and low cost photocatalyst. Mild reaction conditions allow for the generation of synthetically and biologically valued isochromannones, phthalides

efficient benzylic C–H oxygenations of cyclic ethers using oxygen as an oxidant. This oxidation reaction utilizes α-angelica lactone as a low cost/low molecular weight catalyst. The optimized reaction conditions allow the synthesis of valued isocoumarins and phthalides from readily available precursors in good yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction pathway likely involves a radical process
The reactivity of an electronicallytunednitroxylradicalcatalyst for the oxidation of cyclic benzylic ethers has been investigated. The oxidation of phthalan resulted in oxidative cleavage of the saturated ring to give an aromatic dialdehyde. Additionally, oxidation of isochromans afforded isochromanones, which are often seen in natural products, in a rapid manner.
