Elaboration of one-pot selective transformations of alkanes and cycloalkanes into their functionalized derivatives is a topic of current interest. 1., , , , , and In recent years, topics for study have become not only thermodynamically favorable reactions of alkanes but also those occurring with consumption of energy. 2., 3., 4., , and 5. Iodination of saturated hydrocarbons is an example of this type of reaction. ... E t =−105.3 (E t 0 =−106.5), X=F; −28.5 (−31.0), X=Cl; −8.9 (−12.3), X=Br; ...
