New Trends in Oxidative Functionalization of Carbon–Hydrogen Bonds: A Review

This review describes new reactions catalyzed by recently discovered types of metal complexes and catalytic systems (catalyst + co-catalyst). Works of recent years (mainly 2010–2016) devoted to the oxygenations of saturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and other carbon–hydrogen compounds are surveyed. Both soluble metal complexes and solid metal compounds catalyze such transformations. Molecular oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl peroxides, and peroxy acids were used in these reactions as oxidants
