An efficient method for the direct preparation of high synthetic valuable α-hydroxycarbonyls is described. The simple and readily available I2 or NBS was used as catalyst. DMSO acts as the oxidant, oxygen source, and solvent. A diverse range of tertiary Csp(3)-H bonds as well as more challenging secondary Csp(3)-H bonds could be hydroxylated in this transformation. The reaction is mild, less toxic and easy to perform.

The superacid-promoted electrophilic Csp3-H bond activation of aliphatic amines generates superelectrophilic species that can be subsequently fluorinated. Demonstrated by low-temperature in situ NMR experiments, the ammonium-carbenium dications, crucial for this reaction, can also react with C-H bonds opening future synthesis perspectives for this mode of activation.

An unprecedented method that makes use of the cooperative interplay between molecular iodine and photoredox catalysis has been developed for dual light-activated intramolecular benzylic C-H amination. Iodine serves as the catalyst for the formation of a new C-N bond by activating a remote Csp3 -H bond (1,5-HAT process) under visible-light irradiation while the organic photoredox catalyst TPT effects the reoxidation of the molecular iodine catalyst. To explain the compatibility of the two involved photochemical steps, the key N-I bond activation was elucidated by computational methods.

An efficient copper-catalyzed selective cross coupling of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with methyl hetarenes has been reported. This transformation opened a new route to synthesize the C-3 carbonyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative, which is a common structural motif in natural products and pharmaceuticals. (18)O-labeling experiments indicated that the oxygen source of products originated from O2.

Intermolecular C-N bond formations via cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of aryl ethers and tetrazoles have been developed under a metal-free condition. In the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) and aqueous TBHP, aryl ethers coupled efficiently with tetrazoles to afford hemiaminal ethers. This strategy showed high level of regioselectivity for substrates possessing multiple sp(3) C-H bonds adjacent to the ethereal oxygen.
