Abstract

A simple system has been devised to facilitate the first processes for the catalytic replacement of unactivated alkane CH bonds with CX bonds, X= nitrogen and iodine. The system also enables alkane CH bonds to be replaced by CX bonds, X= chlorine, bromine, and oxygen. The system is composed of two liquid phases and the oxidant iodosylbenzene (iodosobenzene). The alkane substrate, the MnmWPX catalyst, and the organic solvent ( ...
