3 Metal-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alkanes To Give Esters or Amines

Abstract

The modification of relatively unreactive alkanes of general formula C_nH_2n+2, as well as of cycloalkanes C_nH_2n, by oxidation of C—H bonds in a catalytic manner is reviewed, focusing on their direct conversions into esters or amines upon incorporation of carbene or nitrene fragments, respectively.

Key words

alkanes - carbene insertions - nitrene insertions - homogeneous catalysts - esters - amines - organometallic complexes
