compounds is an attractive prospect in organic synthesis. In particular, the combination of C(sp3)−H activation and oxidative carbonylation involving alkanes and CO gas is a promising and efficient method to synthesize carbonyl derivatives. However, due to the high C−H bond dissociation energy and low polarity of unactivated alkanes, the carbonylation of unactivated C(sp3)−H bonds still remains a great challenge

A metal-free radical oxidative carbonylation of alkanes is demonstrated, yielding esters and imides by means of di-tert-butylperoxide as oxidant. Various alkanes, alcohols and amides were compatible in this system generating the desired carbonyl products in up to 86% yields. We proposed a plausible radical cross-coupling process based on the preliminary mechanistic studies.
